Even after Jesus had revealed the nature of spiritual power to his disciples, 
they were unable to catch the full import of it sufficiently
to carry on his teaching to any great extent.

And how many have there been since the time of the Master 
who have discovered this teaching in the Bible? 
The reason few, if any, 
have found it is because spiritual teaching
is something that cannot be grasped by those
living primarily in the material and mental realm.

As a matter of fact,
no one will ever learn the secret of spiritual power
​ with his mind.
~Joel S Goldsmith

“I wish I could live underwater.
​ Maybe then my skin
​would absorb the sea’s consoling silence.” 
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban 

I realize that if I wait until
I am no longer afraid to act, write, speak, be, 
I'll be sending messages on a Ouija board,
cryptic complaints from the other side.
~Audre Lorde

That we can see and understand everything
just as well alive as dead,
only when we're alive we don't have the time,
or the peace of mind,
or the inclination to see and understand
what we could.
​ We're too busy rushing to our graves.
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

“Solitude, Celia realizes now,
exists for us not to remember but to forget.” 
​― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

For many years in Cuba,
nobody spoke of the problem between blacks and whites.
It was considered too disagreeable to discuss.
But my father spoke to me clearly
so that I would understand what happened to his father
and his uncles during the Little War of 1912,
so that I would know how our men were hunted down
day and night like animals,
and finally hung by their genitals from the lampposts in Guáimaro.

The war that killed my grandfather and great-uncles
and thousands of other blacks
is only a footnote in our history books.

Why, then, should I trust anything I read?
​
I trust only what I see, what I know with my heart, nothing more.
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

"Papi, I don't know what to do anymore." Lourdes begins to cry.
​"No matter what I do, Pilar hates me."
"Pilar doesn't hate you, hija.
She just hasn't learned to love you yet."
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

Felicia stayed on the fringe of life
​it was free of everyday malice.
It was more dignified there.
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

Perhaps only this: that the greatest danger in life is certainty.
Yes, I do believe that.
Our last redoubt in the world is wonder.
Wonder and unknowing.

Now and then a random detail
will stir me to faint recognitions:
a row of dead beetles in the grass;
the chapped knees of some dowager on the S-bahn.

Tantalizing signs reminding me
that infinity billows out from every moment.
That's when I lean in, sniff the air,
cock my ears like a foxhound-
and listen.
― Cristina García, Here in Berlin

She ponders the transmigrations from southern latitudes.
the millions moving north.
What happens to their languages?
The warm burial grounds they leave behind?
What of their passions lying stiff and untranslated in their breasts?
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

AFTERNOON

Dr.Javad Nurbakhsh - Image of Existence


Come, so we can wash away the image of existence
     and no longer speak of 'I' and 'we'.​

Come, and like us let your thoughts pass away;
     forget both worlds and be silent.

Come, but beware of the shame of knowing
     send those endless lines of learning from your head.

Come, so we can cast far away all sayable things
     and blind our eyes to all there is to see.

Come, we will be strangers to all
     and seem mad in the eyes of the intellectuals.

Come, we'll empty ourselves of self
     and leave behind the disgrace of I and we.​

​Come, and welcome un-fulfillment,
     for we do not suppose our self's desires to be the goal.

Come, and be drowned in the Ocean of Unity,
     free from all thoughts of union and separation.

As this world is not even worth a grain of sand,
     other than what is old and new, it is nothing.

Any blame we project onto others for how we are feeling is an indication that we are not prepared to take responsibility for our own minds as the cause of our distress, whatever form it takes. Forgiveness requires that we look at the thoughts that show up in our experience without judging ourselves for them. When we are willing to recognize, "I am never upset for the reason I think." (W.5) we are shown that all our upsets originate with ourselves. Behind any upset is some kind of wound. Radical inquiry is helpful in uncovering the wound. To inquire is to look beyond the surface of the story of our upset, recognize that a healed mind would not be upset, and wonder what thoughts, beliefs, self-concepts, and values are being held in the mind that are creating the upset. When the beliefs are uncovered, they can be questioned and released.

When we recognize our responsibility for the guilt in our minds, we are given an opportunity to make a choice to let the Holy Spirit take our misperceptions and offer us a new interpretation for the ones we have made. He shows us that no one is guilty, including ourselves. He shows u that, in letting go of guilt and blame, peace returns to our minds. Thus, with forgiveness, we are making a choice for our happiness. Now we feel worthy of Heaven's Love. Only this love is true. Our thoughts about everything are false. Holy Spirit, help me to recognize that what I see is always my wrong interpretation. The Son of God is innocent. Nothing he thinks he has done is worthy of condemnation. "Let me perceive forgiveness as it is." (W.134) To forgive is to not overlook something that is real.

All behavior either reflects love or is a call for love. It is in our own call for understanding that we recognize our sameness. Our brother is our Self. We forgive in order to release ourselves from the judgments we have placed on ourselves and projected onto our brothers. When we project guilt onto our brother, we see our sins in him. It is really just our own self-condemnation that we see. Forgiveness removes the chains we have laid on ourselves. By our willingness to release our brothers, we are freeing ourselves because only our own mind is making it all up. Thus, I ask for help in forgiving myself for projecting my own unconscious guilt onto you, which keeps me from knowing the truth about myself as a being of light and love.

When we experience uncomfortable feelings, the ego immediately wants us to be rid of them as quickly as possible. If informs us that there is nothing wrong with us, there is something wrong with the other person, and we are being unfairly treated and victimized. We become angry, and so, the ego counsels us to attack the other person and make them the guilty ones. Our wish is that their guilt will result in their willingness to change their behavior so we will feel better. For example, if they will at least apologize to us, it declares their fault, which is what we desire. All the time, though, we know our attack on them is never justified. Thus, it is always a dishonest act on our part. The person we have chosen to attack is actually showing us the guilt and self-attack we are holding in our own minds. Thus, they are doing us a favor!
 
Forgiveness recognizes that if love is the only reality, anything distressing or disturbing to our minds cannot be real. When we insist on holding onto distressing thoughts and justifying them, we suffer.

We continue our practice as before, beginning and ending the day with time devoted to the preparation of our minds to learn what each idea can offer us in freedom and in peace. Let us commit today to raising every judgment, every belief, and every concept we hold, to doubt. Open your mind and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive. Continue with the hourly remembrance and whenever you feel triggered by anything today, do the practice of letting go of the false and remembering the truth.
