Good morning! I am delighted you will be joining (or are thinking of joining) us for some, or all 40 "Days In The Desert" (actually it is more like a rainforest) this summer at HeartLand! 🌞
The energy is building for the Intensive - everyone's "stuff" has started moving and will be going full tilt as the time unfolds. With all the processing and willingness happening for everyone I have been speaking with, it promises to be a powerful time! Looking forward to what is about to unfold!
Below is a primer/review of what we will be working on throughout the Intensives. Feel free to share this with friends, especially those who are curious about what the Light 🌞 is that has you heading out to the Ozarks.
First off, a definition:
"True Aramaic Forgiveness is a simple, gentle tool that removes any form of suffering, pain, fear and/or hostility from within and empowers me to wake up to the joy of my True Nature, Love."
SETTING THE SCENE
You are drinking coffee and someone bumps your arm and your coffee spills. Why did the coffee spill? The spill obviously occurred because of the bump on your arm but the reason for coffee being all over everything... is... there was coffee in your cup!
THAT you spilled and WHAT you spilled are two totally different matters the mind tends to blend into one and gets stuck in the errant conclusion that seems logical - "I spilled my coffee because you bumped my arm!"
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. If it had been orange juice, obviously the mess would have been orange juice. The spill had to do with being bumped and the coffee was the CONTENT of the cup. The non-thinking mind, a mind with little discernment, tends to see the spill and the content as one in the same, but they clearly are much different.
It is inevitable - life bumps and squeezes each of us and whatever content we are holding within... the unique content of our minds pops out... and informs us of what we are carrying within. AGAIN! and AGAIN! We have been taught to believe the lie that the content is caused by whomever bumps us, to believe that another is responsible for what surfaces from within. That looks like, "You made me... Mad. Sad. Afraid. You hurt me. They upset me! That disturbs me. In short, we have been taught to live in denial and blame others for the content of our own minds.
So, a second definition. Denial is the act of thinking or speaking as though that which is moving within me is caused by someone or something outside of me. Denial means I dissociate from the part of my mind that is moving, which renders that part unchangeable and ever repeating. "Why Is This Happening TO ME... AGAIN?!
It is important to ask: "When under stress, what seeps into awareness and oozes out of me? Joy, aliveness, enthusiasm, gratitude and serenity?
“What's in my cup?”
And then, the life changing question - "Am I willing to be responsible for what spills out of me under stress and remove content I don't like if that is what surfaces? How do I do that?
Whenever there is an AGAIN attached to an experience, there is a part of you involved. Forgiveness empowers you to uncover and bring that part forward for healing.
The dis-ease states of fear, frustration, rage, sarcasm, put downs and attack are all self-inflicted!
Y'Shua, (aka Jesus) 2000 years ago, purportedly, in the book of Thomas, invited to return attack for attack, says, "I have none of that in my store." "There is none of that in my cup."
You are destined to be free of all suffering and pain if you can let go of any commitment you may have to blame and victimhood and understand responsibility, as Alanis Morissette points out in her song, Madness:
https://youtu.be/8D9mhHd6P_U
Blame, the act of putting responsibility outside of ourselves for content that belongs to us, leaves us stuck in the error of thinking others have to change for us to be happy, for us to make a choice to live in our birthright of bliss and Love.
When in denial and blame, life becomes infinitely more complex because blame brings along its brothers, fear and hostility and a host of life destroying emotions. The father of hostility is the desire to anesthetize pain whose cause appears, to the mind in denial, to be outside of us.
There are qualities of energy, alarm systems so to speak, that are at the root of all errant "thinking!" Lack of this single piece of information has destroyed countless lives - fear and hostility indicate that the mind is in Blockage of TRUTH and functioning on corrupt data! These energies taint, distort and destroy accurate perception and experience! They are indicators that the mind has substituted, for accurate perception, an unresolved energy from the past. There is nothing else that needs to be known about a circumstance - once fear and/or hostility enter the picture - the mind is telling you a lie.
While it may appear, from fear and/or hostility, that one can force their way, and seem to get what they want - Love, constructive resolution and happiness will elude that mind. The tools used to produce a result always produces a result like the tools.
We must excavate the past in order to free ourselves of its influence. Long ago - for most, far beneath recall, somewhere in our past, perhaps even in our genes, decisions and choices were made. Content was installed in the mind - in the genes! Few understand that early interactions with a Power Person sets the stage (it can be changed) for what comes out when we are squeezed. This knowledge sets a stage for the practice of Forgiveness.
REMEMBER - Forgiveness is NOT something you do to "them" or to self. Please - NEVER FORGIVE ANYONE! Forgiveness is about discovery, ownership and REMOVAL. It is the uncovering and removal of trauma held so that you are restored to THE LIGHT THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!
The mind misled by fear and/or hostility has set itself on a path where painful content cannot be removed or resolved because the world it inhabits, the world it perceives, shows only evidence of the self-perpetuating lie that someone else is to blame for what it is experiencing, someone else is responsible for its pained content
Forgiveness is a specific 2,000-year-old technology that exposes hidden parts of the mind to the Presence of Active Love. There is a wonderfully informative line in ACIM that says, "The world of false perception (the source of all suffering) will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished."
The function of Forgiveness is to collapse perceptions generated from any thought based in fear or hostility and to expose and heal the root of the mind's suffering.
Saying number 70 in the book of Thomas, profoundly informs, "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
Studying the words of One who has done the work of healing themselves installs a belief system in the mind. Doing the work based on the instructions of such a person heals the mind, accomplishing more than belief ever could. We are here to support your Self-healing process.
In the compulsion to reach a goal, the obvious is often missed... for example:
In the Intensive we will look into how to shift into Love of Truth which uncovers and heals limiting beliefs.
A couple of videos to watch (often if you are inclined to):
WHAT IS THE WORLD?
A 39-minute video designed to expand understanding of The Two Possible Worlds, how the mind creates it's suffering, and how to remove all suffering - how to ACTUALLY Forgive:

Finally, Jonas Salk (of Salk vaccine fame) spoke of our work together this summer in this way... "Instincts tell us that if we recognize the Interconnectedness of all of us, that we can access the power of Love and Forgiveness, releasing a power greater than atomic energy. The end result of forgiving is to release the power in the nucleus of the individual a power much greater in its positive effects than atomic power in its negative."
“If we can be courageous, one more time than we are fearful…
Trusting, one more time than we are anxious…
Cooperative, one more time than we are competitive…
Forgiving, one more time than we are vindictive…
Loving, one more time than we are hateful…
We would have moved closer to the next breakthrough in our evolution.”
Looking forward to Being with you in an awesome journey this summer...
In Smiles and Blessings michael ❤
