You are the world – Francis Lucille -FL

I was raised as an atheist so all religions were a no-no. After Krishnamurti, my discontent reduced 90%.
“Who am I?” “What am I” “Neti-neti, neti-neti ….” Something is missing with this approach. I would be catching myself red-handed BELIEVING THAT I’M A SEPARATE SELF AGAIN!!! That would be the end of it because I had investigated this separation business long enough.
I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR THIS SEPARATION BUSINESS ANYMORE SO I HAVE NO MORE ATTACHMENT TO IT. That’s why it would be 100% satisfactory. It wouldn’t leave any leftovers. It would be the end of it. Truth and personal comfort are entirely different goals so we have to ask ourselves are we looking for truth or personal comfort.
Questioner: I thought they were pretty much the same thing….
Silence. …
Questioner: I guess not …?
Francis: Certainly not!

Mental healing vs spiritual healing -rjs

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MENTAL HEALING AND SPIRITUAL HEALING

When one person endeavors to heal another by convincing them that they are perfect and that THEY KNOW IT, this is healing by mental suggestion. The danger in this inferior method is that it’s employing the use of the human mind to contact another human mind to effect a change. Who’s to say the motive is entirely pure here?

There is no battle to be waged between two perceived powers. Spiritual healing is of God alone and entails opening up to His perfect realm of Spirit and realizing that this is the realm of the real.

In other words, it’s not YOUR “GETTING IT” that healed you: it’s still God that did the healing. Your role was merely to apply the principles which included understanding spiritual healing.

No EVENT whatsoever = No more searching -RSpira

ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOT AN EVENT.

You’re still expecting something to happen, right? You still think enlightenment is some marvelous event. Something! That’s the problem. Enlightenment is not an event. Even calling it a shift is not correct. It is simply not an event of any sort. Watching TV, you’re seeing the same screen whether blank or landscape. Due to our fascination with the world drama we seemed to lose the screen but it’s still there. We think we have to go off looking for it all over the world when it’s right here!
