David and Frances discuss the importance of getting in touch with arising emotions. The ego is quick to quash the attempt to look under the surface of perception, even using metaphysics such as "there is no world" to suppress exposing hidden beliefs.

We need to allow the Love to burst through however it's given. We never know how it's going to look, it may simply be singing great love songs like the Beatles. It's always content over form, we want the experience!

In this evenings movie session David showed The Butterfly Effect. The world and Newtonian physics places cause and effect separately on the timeline, in dualistic relationships with a "doer" and a "done to". Guilt is projected onto the body with "you should have done this differently". But seeming problems can never be solved from the level of the problem. Spirit sees above the battlefield where cause and effect are seen as simultaneous.

Addressing the belief that if something were different I would be happy. Leading to the thought system of... everything that seems to happen to me I ask for and receive as I have asked.

In this morning session David & Frances discuss the importance of allowing emotions to arise to get in touch with the underlying beliefs and desires. To bring the focus back to a unified purpose, and to accept all things as they are.

The ego uses the entire cosmos as a distraction device, a cosmic fig leaf that covers over the insane belief in private minds and private thoughts.

David starts the "Gift of Happiness" retreat with a showing of "The Ultimate Gift." He uses the movie to show that having and being are one. That we must come into cluelessness to come into salvation and drop all past association. He shows that you can forget this world, not in a denial way, but because you can.

David opened up talking about the title of the retreat "The Gift of Happiness" and the meaning of gifts to the Holy Spirit and to the ego. The world of linear time-space was made in hate/rage as a distraction from Mind. The world was made to be mindless. Healing requires the recognition that the mind, not the body, is the decision-maker. And this recognition costs the whole world you see.

Frances talked about transcending roles and false responsibility, using examples of family relationships. The purpose and application of expression sessions was also discussed in detail in preparation for tomorrow's groups.

In this closing session David speaks about going from an identity as a human being to the Identity of the Son of God. Every thought, word, and action teaches all the universe. The transition is in teaching and strengthening what one would learn, accepting forgiveness as the final self-concept, and emptying the mind and unlearning all else. There is another round of questions and answers from David and Frances.
