“O Man, as long as you exist, know, have, and cherish,
You have not been delivered, believe me, of your burden.” Angelus Silesius
can't come to visit unless you're not there.
— German Mystic, Angelus Silesius (1624-1677)
You must change your mind, not your behaviour, and this is a matter of willingness. You do not need guidance except at the mind level. Correction belongs only at the level where change is possible. Change does not mean anything at the symptom level, where it cannot work.The correction is always the same. Before you choose to do anything, ask me if your choice is in accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there will be no fear.The first corrective step in undoing the error is to know first that the conflict is an expression of fear. Say to yourself that you must somehow have chosen not to love, or the fear could not have arisen. Then the whole process of correction becomes nothing more than a series of pragmatic steps in the larger process of accepting the Atonement as the remedy. These steps may be summarized in this way:Know first that this is fear.Fear arises from lack of love.The only remedy for lack of love is perfect love.Perfect love is the Atonement.There are no idle thoughts. All thinking produces form at some level.CH2 VI. Fear and Conflict
Miracle working entails a full realization of the power of thought in order to avoid mis-creation.
