As for now

Session summary: January, 1st 2012

This is how our friend Heide in her translatation summarizes the morning session of January, 1st 2012:

I have to thank all my brothers. All have done in my dream, what they had to do, as I projected it on them. So we thank the brother, what he did not have to do to me. The good and bad. You are thankful to anyone. No one has to do anything to you or for you. God does not take you back into the heaven, when you keep on praying and praising Him. You are the Heaven in which the Love of God resides, and you got to awaken to this again. Your anger and your grudge is all what has to be corrected in your mind. It is the grudge, that the other should be thankful to you. You got to finish this expectation. The Ego wants that all should be thankful to you ... that are grudge or anger, no thankfulness or love at all. When you have paid anyone, you believe that you have a right to his friendly service. No! This makes this terrible dream, a dream of anger and grudge. In this way the oceans get spoiled, the bodies get sick and all has to die. Who is in grudge will definitely fall sick and die. No one should have done anything good to me. Have this insight. Practice the Course in Miracles and all will change. Otherwise you stay in depression also with millions you are a poor creature. We made a think system without love. This has to be stopped. You are responsible for all what is happening to you in the dream. Everything will repeat again and again. These whole dirty scrap here, if you do not correct it with the Course in your mind. Then you want to press the love in the hell ... speaking of a future golden time, what a nonsense. You demand from others love and respect ... this will definitely bring you into sufferings, right away. That is the law. You do not have a right, that the waiter in a restaurant is nice to you. There is no right to love. With this you made the dream of sufferings. The Ego makes you to a slave. You have to be friendly and loving and the other also. You have not the slightest idea what real freedom is. The ego makes you a slave and victim, with a carrot in front of your nose: to become rich, etc. etc. It is the system of total slavery in the name of "Ego-autonomy". This is a trap. It is totally insane. We got to realize this. Only then we are motivated to practice the Course for our liberation. No prayers, no religion, no meditations, but true profound liberation through the truth and with the only guide out of this insanity the true reasoning, the Holy Spirit in us, in any and every situation in the practical life here.

For this we need the fundament of Oneness and Truth.

All here is unrighteous. The fundamental principal is false. We do not need to see a man, women, children, medical doctors etc. etc. but brothers, one with us and equal, created by the Father Who loves us, not soul-brothers, separate imprisoned in bodies. We have to reject the wrong teacher, the ego who is making the dream of fear, repeating it again and again.

Forgiveness is the only means out of which no dream is made, but it is ended. The miracles end the false creation. In the Holy Instant you get a glimpse of the love to all and God, so you recognize yourself the Christ or your true Self.

I thank my brother, what he did not have to give to me. Do not expect anything from your brother. Surrender all your desires to the Holy Spirit as your guide, and He will fulfill them, not your brother. No lack of thankfulness anymore to your brother but thankfulness, which is part of the true Love. I thank the sun that it has not to shine for me, when I want it, and the cat has not to be there, so that the cat has to cuddle with me and also not my partner etc. etc. I even thank my brother that he was yelling at me, because I wanted it, even so I was unaware of it, that I did this.

We have to teach this lesson and as such to learn it ourselves. First we just do it, and then slowly with patience, we will feel, it works.

The main thing is not to expect anything from a brother at all. No brother has to do anything to me. Even be thankful if he hit you. It is just a dream that you made. Only the desire to make such a dream, is really quite strange, says the Holy Spirit. Just accept the fact that all here is your desire. I am responsible for all I experience here. This fact I got to accept first, and then I am motivated to change my mind. Every thought in my mind represents either my true will shared with God or a desire (ego). This is all the effect due to the almighty creation power of my mind given by God, which I misused here. The mind makes out of a thought a desire. The mind thinks murder and the desire is to murder. Or it thinks ?death is real? and has the desire to kill, or anger is necessary and makes anywhere anger as its desire. The mind is always creative without stopping, either giving life and love to all or killing and attacking all. When I think about murder ?I desire to murder?, at least I see a crime in the TV. But do not be depressed about this fact. Just accept the atonement for you now and accept all your brothers with forgiveness and thankfulness. Otherwise I will stay in the world of murderers. All my thoughts are desires, what I want. My mind is part of the mind of God. I got to correct everything in my mind totally to be killed and to kill. Otherwise I stay in this thinking of desires and in sufferings.

I have to be very attentive, as all thoughts are desires. I have no neutral thoughts. But it is just a dream. And I need the Course and the 365 lessons of the year to correct my mind, with understanding of the text-book.

I cannot say: ?I do not want to be a body.? But I am not a body. My thoughts are very mighty desires. The illusions are as mighty as is reality and truth. So I have to decide myself to make the Course to correct my mind and let go all feelings, bad or good and decide against any disease and death, terrorism, plane-crashes, murder etc. etc. Forgiveness has the might to wipe away all wrong desires, as it has the God given might to do so. This is my Will one with the father.

Well it is not easy to understand that I am responsible that they betrayed me, even so I tried to avoid this. All my desires to be intelligent or good-looking, with all this I make myself a body. You can only liberate you through your own decision. Then only the Holy Spirit can help you when you decide yourself for His help. Your thoughts are desires. There is no other one, as this even is already a desire. All is you, as there is only one mind and the figures projected out of your mind, is practical you projected. You got to recognize that with every desire you are making a whole world. Without the desire for a nice holiday or vacation there will be no wars. All are desires. Can you understand this? No. This is why you need help, from the only One Who can help us. You cannot liberate you a little bit and to be a little bit in Heaven. You either perceive everything totally false or totally right as the Holy Spirit does. Therefor you need the guide of your mind the Holy Spirit.

When you think: I want so much that someone loves me. With this you want that you are not loved. Insane, this we did not know at all, also not in the religions, normal spirituality, Psychology, therapy or medicine. That is why they do not work. The Holy Spirit shows us in the Course that we make anything here in the dream out of our desires. You are never angry about others but only about yourself. There are no others. This insight you need to make up your commitment, to liberate yourself from all desires. No one has to embrace you or hit you. Each one is experiencing what he desires. Even so it is very hard to believe this fact. The might behind all this, is the might of your mind. Total liberation is your only escape. You have to decide for it.

The Love is so unlimited and the real life so fulfilling you cannot imagine this here. When you give all your desires to the Holy Spirit he will take care for them with the Love of God and liberate you totally. Otherwise you stay a victim and slave here.

In this very helpless and totally closed situation Godfather has sent His teacher the Holy Spirit to all of us for our liberation. The Course is not a religion or desire but a commitment. Liberate the world from all your wrong thoughts and desires. So that God?s Will will work through you for the best of all.

All the beautiful things you desire will hurt you here, even the intelligence, joy, success, money, all things make you to be a slave filled with fear. All your desires you give to God through your forgiveness. This liberation makes you totally happy again, full of thankfulness and brotherly love. All things here are lessons to learn, which you share with all your brothers. The dream is not dangerous anymore. We do not hurt anymore each other with false love, expectations, tenderness and intelligence etc. etc.

Behind an apple which we see, is a desire. We projected trees with apples some we like and some we do not like etc. Tenderness is a desire, but also the desire for being hit. All desires make an opposite. The whole world made out of desires with an opposite. Complete insanity. But I can liberate myself out of this, as this is only an illusion. I can correct my mind. I have to decide for this the Holy Spirit will give you nonperishable happiness. When you are afraid of this, then you keep your desires and sufferings as well. Give thankfulness as a gift of God to all and you will receive it from all. When another one has to earn your thankfulness, then you are the watchman of his prison and you will stay in fear.

What is the hell? It is the sum of all my desires. I want this. And so I want to be hurt. Sometimes anger seems to be appropriate. What is anger? A thought which has a right on you. This desire demands a right on you. It is possessing you. You are the slave of this. It is overwhelming you and demands to be realized in the outside. It is a thought in your mind which wants to be expressed and makes the unreal real. The pain demands you, obsesses you, the disease demands your slavery etc. This demand on you, you have to substitute with the Holy Spirit and as such you will be liberated, through your commitment.

Now you got a job: Forgiveness. This job you also have in a hospital, prison, or when you are out of work. You got that job now: Forgiveness.

I am not committed to my desires linked to my body. The Holy Spirit loves me as Gods Holy Son! He guides me into freedom. Jesus our brother is also with us holding our hand if we accept this.

What a blessing that we are able to study this course given to us. Thank everyone what he never had to give to you anything. Look with mercy onto yourself, to all what you gave and all what you did not have to give. And learn now to give God?s gift to all through Forgiveness.

Session summary: December, 25th 2011

This is how our friend Heide in her translatation summarizes the evening session of December, 25th 2011:

In this dream here, we dream of good and bad. So we have to let go any judgment to awaken. Do not make an idol out of Jesus, Buddha, Sai Baba or Krishna etc. You believe they are your liberators, but with them you make the dream, the hell, real. Then you are caught in the cycle of time with reincarnations in the dream. You made this dream and want to make it complete, so you need a God in this dream and invent one and want to make your illusions real. What would be the music without Beethoven, the Physic without Einstein etc. etc. so you need a God here to make the dream real. You want to make the time eternal, cycle. Our brother Jesus has realized this, but no one understood his message. We just made a terrible idol out of him. He said: "My kingdom is not of this world." God never incarnates. He is not an idol. You never can become flesh! You have to stop to glorify your ego that you want to press the truth into the dream. Not Possible! Jesus did not want a new religion or church. But this was not accepted. The resurrection was misused to make a God and idol out of him, who wanted only to be a brother for us and equal. As is the "word has become flesh"... this to glorify the world in which "God" comes Himself. Dear Brother, this is just a fake dream ... with liberators and the one who follow and others who attack them... You are not body and not a soul in a body. God is not a body and not a soul but the Whole!

This childish game with liberators and idols we have to stop now. We only wanted to make the false creation real. That is all. Then you adore your idols and go on a pilgrimage to them and keep on sleeping. You are here in a time-cycle ... like a little toy-model-train passing again and again the same stations. You are so addicted to this kind of game with the liberators and Gods who come here for liberation. You celebrate them, adore them as liberators. But it is just a dream. No liberation at all! This is your trick to keep yourself in the cycle of time. So the whole world stays for you as a reality. The enlightenment of those liberators is part of your dream and they keep you "save" from your awakening. What is the course taught by the Holy Spirit? You are the liberator and everyone is equal created as you. Stop running for idols and liberate yourself from any religion accepting the eternal truth for you and all. See everyone as your liberator without any cult of special persons. Stop this cult. All here is a lesson to learn for your liberation. Forgive all here and see them as the Holy Self the Christ. Either you see the world of the ego, or the real world. You can find the Christ in the lowest ? in everyone. Forgive also Jesus, Buddha, Sai Baba and Krishna. Liberation has nothing to do with a body. The body is a total neutral thing. And place and time are a meaningless believes ...Then the dream starts crashing down. The miracles you give, have an effect on the mind, you do not need to see them outside. There is no difference between Jesus and you. God has created all equal! You got to forgive your wrong concepts about Buddha, Jesus, Sai Baba and Krishna etc. etc. Let it be cancelled and liberate yourself, otherwise you will never recognize Who you are. There is no world. It?s just a dream. This world is already over. There has never been a world in which God has come. Do not expect anything from those false idols or any relation here.

The course wants to liberate you from the unreal! Nothing is real here ... just projected shadow-figures...

My function is to create with the Father the Eternal. And not to make a world with starving and dying creatures, houses and plants. Here you see only the past, your past learning and decorate them with godly messengers. Around such a "God" you make the whole hell real ... make special places, ashrams, devoting places etc. etc. and meditation places which teach a meditation which does not liberate you at all. Do not adore such liberators, with them you only want to glorify your ego as a special "soul" or person. There is no specialness in Heaven as all are One in God! Without those idols you are nothing here, so you need them and make them in your dream ... as you are nothing here. Just realize how poor you are here and all. Just a heap of dust even in a palace. Your only true desire is to recognize your real Self, as God has created you, His beloved Son, the Whole Heaven in which the Love of God resided and the Whole creation. Just recognize the Self the Christ in all your idols, then the idol is not of any importance anymore. Look with forgiveness on the idol-cult. With mercy and understanding, what you made it for. Just to keep up sleeping and to make the dream real. You always tried to bring any glimpse of God into the dream. But the course is telling you: "All you made from the beginning of time was only the hell." God and You as His Son are everywhere, but never in a body. The body is the chosen home of the ego but not of God. You are the Son of God and never can become a body! You can only imagine this in a dream. You are with the Father, the Son. The Father creates the Son, You! Here nothing is real, nothing has been created by God at all. God has never incarnated. There are no Gods in bodies. Forget the dream, in it is no "God" real. Tell yourself: I never have been in the time and never in a body. Only the ego wants this. It needs a god to make itself, who is nothing real. You live anywhere but not in a body! You cannot find yourself here. You never incarnated! God will never limit Himself. This you have to teach in your mind. Forgive your idols. Who am I? I am the Son of God healed, holy and complete. Eternally living in God. The coming again of Christ is not an incarnation but the wakening of all to the one Identity, The Self or Christ!

There is no incarnation of Gods. The Son of God does not want to limit Himself and suffer. No! You are totally happy now in God and do not want to go in a prison. It?s impossible! The word does not become flesh. Reincarnation means to go constant in a prison ... no liberation under any circumstances.

The idea that Love wants to express itself through matter is total nonsense. God our Father is as God total happy and unlimited. And I am in God in total peace and happiness as He is. In me is His Love complete.

Be aware that all this religious gossip is just insane.

You have to teach your eternal true Self to make the experience. You the Christ is fulfilled and happy! The world has nothing to offer me at all, also not as an emperor ... a poor creature. Save yourself from all the pilgrimages. You do not need it at all. Here and now is the Heaven for you if you follow the course and open to the reality in you. Just be only concerned about the truth. You do not even have to believe in God, but you will reach Him with the course unfailingly here in you.

You, who has claimed that this world is real and you, who has been a false God, or angel, or spiritual person or incarnated Goddess have to demonstrate that this was an error ... and the dream will crash into nothingness. The ego wants the incarnation of Gods. In this way you will never understand who you are. Just understand the dreamer of the dream wants to glorify the dream. God gave an answer through Jesus, who was glorified as a God or Gods only Son. But after his resurrection he did not incarnate again to be a special God or liberator here, what the ego would have wanted. As is the talking about the second coming of Jesus Christ. This will not happen, be sure of that!

The Christ would suffer, when He incarnates. Do you want as Gods Son to live in a human body? No! Even in Palaces as an emperor I would suffer. I, the Son of God, have no ego. I do not need followers nor praise or specialness as an emperor. Without an ego you do not need anything from anyone. The Self as Christ will never incarnate, as He does not need this at all. We learn now to see the Christ in the lowest and liberate our self from all false desires for name and fame. Your followers do not help you at all, in this way you are only very poor and have to start all over again. Therefore the idea: Here and now I am liberating myself. Therefor I need a healing plan. This is the course. I have to step back, then I do not need idols but I am hundred per sent save guided through the Holy Spirit to my true Identity and God, my home, now! Then I correct the fake Christmas and celebrate every day the birth of Christ in me and all.

My dear holy brother, I was listening tonight to a quite important session for all of us, to understand better, what the Holy Spirit wants us to do, and how we can help Him instead asking for help. This session was quite long but I will do my best to give the essence of it.

All problems we see here in the world, we have made. And we have to stop to make them. God has made a plan for salvation for you, as you are the whole world. There is only one mind and being, you, sleeping here. We cannot put God in front of our wagon to pull it. He does not help in our financial problems at all. Even if He would, it would not help. As this is the effect of an insane mind. God does not help in this way, and the prayers in this direction are useless. Your/our mind needs healing, that out of our mind there is not made any more a world, where humans and animals have to suffer and to die. God wants that we are serving His plan for salvation for the whole world. With money we cannot help anyone in reality. Here all are dying, if rich or poor or in a hospital or in great palaces...all the same. The plans of the ego are it wants to make a world real, in which is no real love at all (the world of separation is hate). Such a world does not need any help at all, as it is the hell we made, but we have to undo this world in our mind. We have to heal our mind with the help of the Holy Spirit. This world has no sense in no aspect at all. I have to awaken from this hell! The only plan for salvation you need is to remember your own complete and holy from as God has created you and all. We have to stop to make the hell. We are not a body! Out of a total poor and valueless creature we try to make a luxury one. This does not work. This is all suffering, also with millions.

God has made a plan for salvation, not for the world but for You, His Son! You have to learn to forgive totally everyone, as you ARE everyone. So forgive all and all things and do not project anymore the false images like humans, animals, plants and all the things you see here. Undo this world. For this you need help. The Holy Spirit says: "I cannot help you, as long you are not helping me." We have to decide to give to Him our willingness, that He heals the world through us. Otherwise He says: "I cannot help you as long as you are not helping me to fulfill the plan for salvation given by God for all." If you want Gods help for yourself privately for your problems...this does not work...or you are ready to help the Holy Spirit, therefor you have to stop your own ideas. We have to correct all our plans for salvation for the world, as they are all wrong, and want to make the hell real. I do not have to rescue the world, as the world does not exists in reality, It is just a bad dream, we are making again and again real, even so nothing is real here. First we make a world of sufferings and then we want to rescue it and want help from God for it. No, God does not know even this world, and will never make the hell real. First we project this world out of our mind separate from the God of love the only real Creator and Source of life and the we want for it His help. No! God has made a plan to help You, His Son, to return back to His reality and awaken. He wants that we give His gift to all, the forgiveness is the means. This is a pure and complete gift to give the vision of Christ to all. We correct everything here and do not value any illusion at all, even so we have been attracted to it, and decide to see only with Christ in us to the Christ, the holy Self, in all. In this way you give back to your mind the completeness and holiness. When you are giving something complete, you are the co-creator with God for the real world. It is only the plan for salvation of the Holy Spirit, which will heal all problems of this world. Each one has here problems, but they cannot be solved in the way we believe. God wants that you never have a problem and that you do not have the slightest trace of sorrow. This world is in a helpless situation from the beginning of time, and the lie there has been a Golden Age is just nonsense to trap the mind again. The Holy Son of God imprisoned in a body, is a poor starving and dying creature and the emperors the most in it. And death as a solution is a terrible thought. There is nothing more helpless then the thought all have to die or and reincarnate. Why we should have hospitals, when anyway all have to die? All our plans for salvation here are just a fake; they do not help in anything at all. And the only plan for salvation given by God direct for our liberation, we do not want to accept, when we keep our attachment to this world. We cannot be satisfied with a hell, the world of separation. We need help, so that out of our mind a beautiful world emerges under the guidance of God?s Voice. My mind has the creating potential given by God the Father and we need help from the Holy Spirit. We have to learn from the Holy Spirit. That is the Course in Miracles. We have to learn that we do not make a false creation. This world is a false creation; here you cannot learn anything at all. You can start to learn to create together with God the perfect, complete creation and fulfill your function given by Him. Here is all incomplete and you have to forgive this. I have made all things in a wrong way through my wrong thinking system, the ego. I am the complete Son of a complete Father. I can awaken and undue, what is not real. The world is a direct effect of my thinking. We have to look in our mind and correct all errors. The body is the home of the mind who believes to be an ego...an independent individual...even so when it calls himself an eternal soul. This is a trap. Here we always want help for our special problems. God does not do this. He wants that we awaken! Stop your false prayers for help. Help Him and then you will get all help automatically. God cannot answer to those problems from the beginning of time. I have to correct the world which I see in my mind, which is making all I see. I have to understand, that I do not want this world, and no one really wants it. I do not want a world in which all die and suffer. I need help to correct all in my mind which makes this world seem to be real. The Holy Spirit is our master and teacher and we have to help Him. God has made a plan for your liberation, in which you can help, when you want it. As long as you go to God and tell him to help you, he tells you go to your brother and help him to awaken and to be healed and then I will help you. What you experience here is the effect of your false thoughts. As you perceive you think. We project this world out of our mind and this has to be corrected. I need help! As I am a co-creator, one with the Father. The Father has given His Fatherhood to me His Son. This is the creative potential of my mind, given by the Father to me. Here we only make a false creation with the ego. I am responsible for all I see. I have to heal my mind that only true creations are created. Otherwise all are like greedy animals here. God is helping us to come out of this hell. The course is a course in the source of all things. I have to give to this my full commitment. I have to decide for liberation of all in His plan for salvation, through forgiveness. I am the servant, not God for me. Let all prayers be silent and only true prayers emerge.

I have to welcome the Father in my mind. He is there! You have a right to the whole Universe. That is the righteousness the Holy Spirit is bringing to the world. Are you willing to be liberated from all effects of all sins? Decide against all pains and sufferings and diseases. Find the error in your mind and correct it with His help. All pains are a direct effect of my false thinking. That is my service for the world and me. The only Source is God and then no one can die, or suffer, or starve. This is not possible. I have to give up all values in this world. I sacrifice all my "holy cows". You let go all things here to win the Heaven in you with all real wealth. If you see anyone or yourself as a victim, poor and sick, you are condemning him and yourself. When I see myself as a looser, I have condemned myself. I am the Son of God and God gave me the whole Heaven and Himself ? There is nothing lacking ? I am complete forever! I do not want to condemn me for death! God wants to help me. When I want to make this world eternal (cycle of time) all creatures will stay as poor, starving dying creatures, this is devilish. God has not created poor, starving and dying creatures. No! I am the complete Christ the Holy Son of God! There is no loss possible! My righteousness is giving all to all. Otherwise all are murdered here through my false thoughts. I have to surrender everything to the Holy Spirit. All solutions have to be solved in my mind.

Thank you for reading those lines. It might have been a little long but hopefully helpful. Thank you.

Heide

Keep still

Keep still ...
keep quiet ‘til you begin
experiencing what just seemed
present really disappears.
However unfathomably slow, so
slow that it appears
as present — and yet —
if you indeed keep still just once,
you very clearly realize,
the present one is you
and all else disappears!

When you're completely still,
when you're not nervously
and frightfully one with
all that disappears,
when you no longer wish
yourself to die
and thus not grab for it
nor keep it seized —
you must have turned still,
becoming Him ...

I Am

Michael

Beloved brothers,

Yes — something is changing. Again, a seemingly familiar state ceases to give security. But it's not true that “something is changing”. This time it's yourself who willingly brought his own past learning to the Holy Instant, to allow Him that His Will may fill your awareness. And thus His Will will also happen through you.

You don’t know what’s going to happen then? And how could you be able to find an eternally present Will in the future! Your present is Now. Exactly as His Will! And in here you are one; completely secure and safe.

And all these questions, these timid “ifs” and “buts”? These, beloved brother, fellow traveler and companion on the way Home, these fears are not His Will nor are they ever going to be! To let the past pass only makes sense if it’s not to be used again. Not even in order to understand!  That’s how — behind all the perishable — an imperishable Will can become your experience at last.

So what is the change?  You really give up your worries for the future every day! You do not want to counter His Will with past experiences. That's how we save ourselves truly. And thus we discover that it can only be called a way because more and more we are settling down, finding peace, pausing — and we are not constantly on the run anymore: it’s the past that is passing … and we are waking up! So, beloved brothers, let us rest in His Will and experience that we Are.

Be blessed

Michael & Bhakti

Brother, oh most beloved brother!

Let’s understand what we have not understood so far, so nothing stands in the way anymore to awakening to love — as we indeed cherish it for each other. Jesus could only give us charity as a commandment because in truth we share total love for each other. We are what Love is!  We are in Love and one with Love.

“Then why do I experience grievances and conflict over and over again?” you might ask yourself unwillingly. That's the point, that's why you need a dependable Teacher, whose answer to your question really helps you.  So let us then find the answer and share it with one another. Today, it's the following answer: “Eyes deceive and ears hear falsely.” You might have read these words in The Course in Miracles, but it is important to understand them in a way that they explain to you your previous experience of grievances and conflicts so you are able to save yourself from these unfortunate experiences. And not only yourself.  For you're always sharing these experiences with those you are grieving and arguing with.  So once again: “Eyes deceive and ears hear falsely.”

How is something like this possible?  It's only possible as long as you cannot distinguish your true thoughts from your wrong thoughts, or as long as you don't ask the Holy Spirit (Who is able to distinguish them!) for His help. You were told what forgiveness really is and what it causes. It is a selective sorting out of wrong ideas in your mind.  Wrong thoughts are love-less thoughts. They cause arguments and grievances in your experience of life.  True thoughts are loving thoughts.  They cause peace and joy in your experience of life.  It's your experience of life that we share with one another.  Without forgiveness you experience conflicts and grievances.  You see and hear this with your eyes and ears.  That's why you think it's true: “you're deceiving yourself, brother!”

And that's what you have to understand. And that's why you have to stop and step back as long, until you subject everything that your eyes and ears report to you to one single test … and, brother, really accept the Atonement for yourself for that, so you don't flee back into guilt (“ to be on the safe side”!). The test is this: am I one with my brother in complete, joyful, affectionate, blessed peace? Are we devoted to each other in Love? Do my eyes see this and is it this what my eyes report to me? — If it is only this then your perception is really true.  If there’s but the slightest bit of not only this then your eyes and ears are deceiving you for they report the existence of something wrong as existing to you. That's the deception!

Deception doesn't mean you don't see and hear (then it wouldn't be deception), however that you do see and hear very well — yet based on untrue thoughts. Namely on your part! “Well, and what about the others?” you might immediately want to know. That, brother, is going to be the Miracle. That, brother, is what you're going to experience when you have allowed gracious, mighty forgiveness to flow like balm into your relationship.  That, beloved brother, will do you very good; it will cover you with love and happily bless your perception.  We want this for ourselves, as God wants this for us as well.

And now read these lines once more perhaps, and stop as often as unrelieved memories of conflicts and grievances keep recurring to you — and do experience/do become this Miracle.
We are thanking one another.
