Harmony

Can two persons be in harmony except they be agreed? If you are affected by any person in a way that produces fear, you cannot be in perfect harmony with another till the fear is cast out. If it is from some idea that affects your character, you will be imprisoned in the idea till you are freed from it. The idea may or may not be accompanied with an individual, but if it is so accompanied, you will be affected by that person in your sleep, the same as in your waking state. One of these effects is attributed to the natural mind, and the other to the spiritual mind, but both have the same effect on the health.

To separate us from what we look upon as truth is not a very easy task, for sometimes we think we like the very thing we really hate. This keeps us in ignorance of ourselves. To separate us from error and bring us into harmony is to explain the false idea away, and then all sorrow is passed away. Nothing remains but the recollection of what is past, like a dream or nightmare, and you are not likely to get into the same error again.

All sensation, when first made, contains no direction but is simply a shock. Error puts a false construction or opinion upon it. The mind is then imprisoned in the idea.

You have taken some effect for an element. This makes all the trouble. Error can produce no element but can only create disease and misery. Elements are like true love or science. They contain no evil except when hatred or passion is put in. Then they may take the name of the author of the evil.

For instance, you may love a person, and he may love liquor; you may be induced to drink; your love for your friend may be transferred to the liquor and you may become a drunkard. Now to cure you is to have some one interest you in those who have a distaste for liquor, and in that way if you follow your friend and if he knows what he is about, he restores you to health and happiness.

Our Core states are “Being”, “Inner Peace”, Love”, “OKness” and “Oneness”.
Whether you do
the Work” , “Core Transformations”, study ACIM or some other method they can be yours.The Celestine Prophecy reminds us of Synchronicity.Minds are joined. All is mind.One mind.What Quimby, Murphy, ACIM and more recently Jane Woodward have eluded to.The Celestine Prophecy is a fictional story or parable utilizing Transactional Analysis and New Age beliefs.And, it also reminds of us that we often get caught up in others peoples games, or melodramas.But, like ACIM says: I can choose peace instead of this
