Manual for Teachers, Shift in Perception. P 4 6-20-20

II. The Shift in Perception, P 4

4 With this idea is pain forever gone. But with this idea goes also all confusion about creation. Does not this follow of necessity? Place cause and effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the learning will generalize and transform the world. The transfer value of one true idea has no end or limit. The final outcome of this lesson is the remembrance of God. What do guilt and sickness, pain, disaster and all suffering mean now? Having no purpose, they are gone. And with them also go all the effects they seemed to cause. Cause and effect but replicate creation. Seen in their proper perspective, without distortion and without fear, they re-establish Heaven.

Accepting that all of manifestation begins in the mind will change everything. It requires the undoing of the belief in guilt or else we would be unwilling to take full responsibility for all things in our life. But once done, Jesus tells us that there will be an end to suffering because these untrue thoughts will have no purpose. I can see that in my own life, not as a complete accomplishment but enough for it to feel miraculous and enough to strengthen the desire to look for and release any remaining thoughts that lead to suffering.

I absolutely take responsibility for everything in life. I take responsibility for all things that occur in my personal life and all things that occur in life itself. I started with the behaviors and reactions in my life story that caused harm. In the beginning, I did what everyone does, I blamed others. Slowly, as I was able, I began taking responsibility, acknowledging that nothing could occur without my desire for it to do so. (Lesson 152) And at some point, I began looking for root cause so that I could find the hidden desires that were the cause of many of these decisions. Having found them, I forgave them and released them to the Holy Spirit.

I also began to realize that anything in my awareness was there so that I could heal it through the same process. It was no longer personal, just something to be healed for us all. I realized that it doesn’t matter where in the Sonship something is healed because we all benefit from the healing. I also realized that I played a part in those seemingly not personal experiences such as weather events, earthquakes, wars. I began to look in my own mind for the causes, the desire for chaos and for conflict. Additionally, there is the reality that much of what happens here is the result of the combined consciousness. However it shows up, the cause is in the mind and the effects are what we see and experience through our bodies and not the other way around.

Seen in their proper perspective, without distortion and without fear, they re-establish Heaven.
Without guilt distorting everything, we can all look within for the cause of the world we see, accept responsibility, and allow the mind to be healed. The world we will experience once this is completed will be lovely, indeed. I am interested in the idea that we will re-establish Heaven. I think he probably means that first there will be the real world, a world without our projections of fear and guilt, a world that reflects only love. Then, the world will disappear entirely and we will merge into God. Maybe that is what he means by re-establishing Heaven. It will be re-established in our Mind.
