THE GIFTS OF GOD — Sondra Ray and Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles

The Knowledge of Spirit transcends the levels of Consciousness and Perception. Yet, in order to make this leap into the Knowledge of the Spirit, we have to clean up our levels of consciousness. Are we perceiving with "right-mindedness" or "wrong-mindedness?" This is where the miracles are needed to clean up our perception. In the "made-up" self, we have the free will to forgive and clean up our perception. Christ's Vision would look on a forgiven world. This is the work we have to do first before we can leap into the Knowledge of Spirit, which is the healing of separation that never really occurred.

Perception involves the body's senses. Knowledge does not. Right perception, using the love of miracles, prepares the mind to receive knowledge and revelation. But it is changeable. Knowledge is changeless and true. It is Certain. Knowledge does not induce action. It does not rely on the body's senses at all. True perception relies on consciousness and our senses to align with love, not fear, with innocence, not guilt. True Perception prepares the way for us to receive Knowledge. Perception exits in time; Knowledge is timeless.

True Perception begins with seeing our INNOCENCE. There is no guilt, no attack thoughts, 
no projection of anger onto others or ourselves in the miracle of Truth. BABAJI made TRUTH 
the first in His principles for a good life. True Perception is that which is aligned with the Will 
of God that Loves ALL, no matter what mistakes have been made in life. We are challenged to give up the darkness of our ego's perception for the LIGHT. Can we do it? The Decision is ours.

IN the INNOCENT PERCEPTION, there is no guilt, and no payments made to "atone" for "sins." There is no sin, and therefore no guilt that demands our retribution. The Resurrection establishes the Atonement, not through the "crucifixion," but rather through the overcoming of the limitations, even death. No one is asked to make a "sacrifice" to offset the "evil deeds" of others. Jesus did not "suffer for our sins." He was clear there is no death or "illusions of evil" complete with "attack thoughts" which victimize us in a crucifixion. JESUS rises above the conditions of even death, and using the Spirit's reality He forgives the attacks and establishes the Realty of Life—through the immortality of Christ Consciousness.

The Last Judgment is the last time we judge ourselves with anything but the perfect happiness and joy of total acceptance of the Atonement. God does not condemn. Nor does God judge. Can we release ourselves from guilt and punishment that have been in our mind for eons? With the Christ are we absolved of all errors, and we are free of consequences that we were bringing upon ourselves. Can we accept the Atonement that is the last time we ever judge?

This is a real explanation of Cause and Effect. Jesus explains that He cannot interfere with this basic law. If we choose to think "fear" is real, He cannot interfere with our "results" we manifest from this faulty belief system. It is we who have to choose correction for our mis-beliefs, and therefore our mis-creations. Can we absorb this responsibility to invoke Miracles to accept the Atonement that can correct our mind for making this fundamental mistake? The decision is one we must make.

FEAR AND CONFLICT

Fear brings about inner conflict, because we end up being inconsistent with what we "think" and what we "do." Our thoughts and our actions are conflicted, and this produces anger and fear, and also a certain amount of guilt for this inconsistency. We have elevated "ego thoughts" (body thoughts of fear) to the level of the mind. We have not identified with our True Identity, and been "fooled" by "body thoughts." This mistake produces fear. We can accept the Atonement for ourselves and correct this mistake. Then we have the Christ Mind to guide us according to the Holy Spirit's decisions.

In this Podcast Sondra & Markus discuss the special principles of Miracles Workers. What do we need to have clear about the process of miracles? This discussion helps us to understand our right relationship with the Christ Consciousness in the action of performing miracles.

The Function of the Miracle Worker is to accept the Atonement for himself/herself. Only the Mind can create, and correction (miracles) happens at the thought level. Mostly, the suspension of the thought of the ego, which has fragmented itself, is what is needed. Spirit makes no errors. The mind can make misperceptions which require corrections at the mind level. The body is neutral and merely reflects the mind. The Atonement is the principle of forgiveness that corrects the mind. Right-Mindedness is the realm of healing. Healing is of the mind, not from a physical medication or treatment that ignores correction of the mind.

All healing is a release from fear. Fear is of the mind, not the body. This section makes it clear healing is therefore in the mind. The mind is the level where the error occurred, and therefore where any correction needs to be made. The body responds to the directions of the mind. Material Agents to treat bodily ills are described as "magic," not creative. Creative actions are in the mind. However, it is important not to increase fear in addressing our disease. Taking medication is therefore OK, if an increase in fear would precipitate from using the mind to heal. Miracles are not meant to increase fear.
