Excellent critique of Christian Religions

Sawadee Khrap

Here’s another great video by Richard Rohr – We Create our Destiny.   My YouTube searches in Google are bringing me some very interesting videos and by destinygreat speakers and thinkers.    Please excuse the posting of so many of his works but this one is right on the mark – The Holy Spirit is working and the world IS changing even thought it doesn’t appear that way on the TV news.   The TRUTH is the truth whoever says it or it was never the truth.  Notice how he includes other religious view points  –  few Christians do.  I love the emphasis on “Do Not Judge.”   He doesn’t mention ACIM but his basic Theos is the same.

The message IS getting to the world.

Sawadee Khrap

The NON-DUALISTIC message IS getting to the world.  More and more I am being lead to videos and other perspective of what this world really is and our function in it.  Here is a great video by a Catholic Franciscan Monk, Richard Rohr.

RICHARD RORH – ATONEMENT THEORY (FULL VIDEO)    which speaks about Breathing Underwater. Falling Upward. Universal Christ. Contemplation. Naked Now. St. Francis of Assisi. Non-Dualism. Universalism. Thomas Merton. 2021. God is Love.

At-One-Ment      Explains   “The Christ”    “Jesus is the revelation of God’s Plan A.  He is not a mop-up exercise after Adam and Eve ate that darn apple.”  AMAZING !!!Mystical

Lifted like a veil – took 6 months

Sawadee Khrap

What a miracle !   I woke this morning about 6 AM. and was going over my day to come, when about 6:30, it seemed like a veil was lifted from my mind.  All shaking in my hands and tongue stopped and the clearest vision I have had in a long time.  Checking my calendar, it’s been 186 days since  I stopped the BP meds, Madiplot and Calcium Channel Blocker.   I am still taking 40 mg Valsartan in the morning and evenings, BP about 150/80 average, but will continue to see if even this HBP med is needed.  My BP seems to be dropping back to the so called normal ranges 130-140/80 and all signs of Parkinson has disappeared..  

Went for a 1/4 mile walk down the parking garage and then to breakfast, and about 2 hr. later, slight shaking was apparent – but not a extreme or irritating.  I am sure that will dissipate over the next few days too.  I am also noticing a complete change of presence, I seem to be more normal, alert, and have regained my balance and muscle control – really evident in walking.  Hopefuly the worse is over.  6 mo. of hell.

Lookup [change, world] in ACIM

Sawadee Khrap

This morning I did a interesting word lookup in ACIM.    

“The learning of the world is built upon a concept of the self adjusted to the world’s reality. It fits it well.  For this an image is that suits a world of shadows and illusions. “       ( Chapter 31 – V. Self-Concept versus Self )

“Sin is the only thing in all the world that cannot change. It is immutable. And on its changelessness the world depends.”        ( Chapter 25 – VII. The Rock of Salvation )

“The world of perception, on the other hand, is the world of time, of change, of beginnings and endings. It is based on interpretation, not on facts. It is the world of birth and death. It is learned rather than given, selective in its perceptual emphases, unstable in its functioning, and inaccurate in its interpretations.” ( Preface )

“There is no point in lamenting the world. There is no point in trying to change the world. It is incapable of change because it is merely an effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about the world…”       (Workbook Lesson 23 )

“But is given you the means whereby the world no longer seems to be a prison house or jail for anyone. Freedom is given you where you beheld but chains and iron doors. But you must change your mind about the purpose of the world, if you would find escape.. You will be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed, and everyone made free of your mistakes and honored as he is. You made him not; no more yourself. And as you free the one, the other is accepted as he is. “( Workbook Lesson 200 )

“Truth is the opposite of illusions because it offers joy.  What else but joy could be the opposite of misery?  To leave one kind of misery and seek another is hardly an escape.  To change illusions is to make no change.”    (Chapter 22 – II. Your Brother’s Sinlessness )

“My holy brother, think of this awhile: The world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your thoughts.  And it will change entirely as you elect to change your mind, and choose the joy…”      ( Workbook Lesson 190 )

“As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world.   Perception is a result and not a cause… “      ( Chapter 21: Reason and Perception – Introduction )

“The whole value of right perception lies in the inevitable realization that all perception is unnecessary. This removes the block entirely.  You may ask how this is possible as long as you appear to be living in this world.  That is a reasonable question. You must be careful, however, that you really understand it.  Who is the “you” who are living in this world?   Spirit is immortal, and immortality is a constant…”       ( Chapter 4 – II. The Ego and False Autonomy


These excerpts definitely point out the differences between  a DUALISTIC and NON-DUALISTIC view or perspective of what we consider and accept as our REALITY.

Look, Listen and Do Not Judge!    Leave all judgements to the Holy Spirit.

I am still as God Created me.     Innocent and so is my brother.

The Guiltless World – VII. Attainment of the Real World

Sawadee Khrap

Today’s reading from ACIM  Chapter 13 – The Guiltless World – VII. Attainment of the Real World  – Powerful !!!!


You have been wrong about the world because you have misjudged yourself.  From such a twisted reference point, what could you see?  All seeing starts with the perceiver, who judges what is true and what is false.  And what he judges false he does not see.  You who would judge reality cannot see it, for whenever judgment enters reality has slipped away.  The out of mind is out of sight, because what is denied is there but is not recognized.  Christ is still there, although you know Him not.  His Being does not depend upon your recognition.  He lives within you in the quiet present, and waits for you to leave the past behind and enter into the world He holds out to you in love.

No one in this distracted world but has seen some glimpses of the other world about him.  Yet while he still lays value on his own, he will deny the vision of the other, maintaining that he loves what he loves not, and following not the road that love points out.  Love leads so gladly!  As you follow Him, you will rejoice that you have found His company, and learned of Him the joyful journey home.  You wait but for yourself.  To give this sad world over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your will.  And Christ will always offer you the Will of God, in recognition that you share it with Him.

It is God’s Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing else comes nigh unto him.  He is as safe from pain as God Himself, Who watches over him in everything.   The world about him shines with love because God placed him in Himself where pain is not, and love surrounds him without end or flaw.  Disturbance of his peace can never be.  In perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all about him and within him.  He must deny the world of pain the instant he perceives the arms of love around him.  And from this point of safety he looks quietly about him and recognizes that the world is one with him.”


Look, Listen and Do Not Judge.   Leave judgement up to the Holy Spirit.  Only those who desire to be Special want to judge – ONENESS accepts.

As Christ said, “Father, forgive them they know not what they do.”

The world IS coming around, although slowly

Sawadee Khrap

Yes, Indeed.    This is a great YouTube video , Baptism and the Holy Spirit,  a refreshing giant leap into the actual teachings of Jesus.  The next step is the realization that Jesus was constantly teaching and demonstrating a NON-DUALISTIC relationship between Himself and His Father, and His Kingdom.  baptism  Furthermore, that this world is a DUALISTIC insane projection, illusion or interpretation of our mad desire to be special and apart, instead of God’s and OUR ACTUAL REALITY .   When this final realization is made then the full teachings of Jesus will be understood.  Scriptures like the Gospel of Thomas will make sense.  I pray this time will be soon, the world has suffered too long already.

A Saint Must Walk Alone.

Sawadee Khrap

lonelyI am sure we have all experienced these feelings one time or another.   It’s nice to know we are not alone. 

YouTube video – The Saint Must Walk Alone – A. W. Tozer / Classic Christian Audio Books

A ‘saint’ is merely one who walks the path,  designated by God and Christ,  for Redemption, first for themselves and then for the world.   A world where we believe we are born into separate and unique egoic bodies, desperately seeking to re-establish a universal desire of darknightfullness or completion, or Oneness with our Creator.  

A saintly path of trying to be IN the world but not OF the world, as instructed by Jesus.

This also reminds me of this YouTube video “The Dark Night of the Soul”   and for a more complete  spiritually detailed explanation see   St. John of the Cross’s original writing of “The Dark Night of the Soul  (Audiobook)”.

Will I abandon my life and go live in the mountains if I truly awaken?

Sawadee Khrap

This morning I received a newsletter from Aaron Abke Ministries, and this was the title.    Nice letter and to the point – for the sales of his classes.   Don’t get me wrong, a lot of good inspirational stuff,  highly influenced by ACIM and Non-Duality.    This article really got me started thinking about my Function.  

I also recommend checking out Enlighten-University’s YouTube video  “Am I In A Cult!?”  and another great one  “ 40 Truths All Religions Share”,  which adds emphasizes to the statement in ACIM’s Clarifications of Terms,A universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary.”   

But,  to answer the question,  I don’t think that would be the case.  As I understand “To AWAKEN”,   it is the realization that true REALITY is the Non-Dualistic relationship that God Created as opposed to an illusionary dualistic egoic perspective,  in which I,  (God’s Son),  believe I am experiencing, making, or living  as the character – ‘Frank’.    If I am awakened, then so are  “ALL of the ONE” awakened and there is no further function or need for this illusion, and it will return to the nothingness from where it came.

This “awareness of awaking” was expressed in Jesus’s  statement   “I and the Father are One”.   Jesus,  a character in the dream,  realized that this world was just that ,  a dream of separation from the ALL or ONE.   That the ‘lie’, ego,  or desire to be special and unique, had made a illusionary dualistic world and yet God’s Love cannot be completely blocked out so that Jesus’s awakening was the manifestation of the ‘Truth’ or ‘Light’ within.    Jesus told us  “That what we loosen or bind on earth will be lose or bound in Heaven.”   It is from our misdirected desire to  judge and condemn, thinking that we can assume God’s Role,  that this illusionary world arises.

However, “I am still as God Created me”   One in  God and Christ.  Then that ‘One’  must also include everyone else.  There is NO SPECIALNESS or UNIQUNESS in NON-DUALITY.   All is One.    Then it also follows, that what is done to one,  is done to all,  and that no ‘one’  (in the dream) can go to Heaven alone.  It is a collective thought of separation or dream where imagined separate egos interact with each other, but do not really exist.   Therefore, the UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCE is to realize,  that when we condemn or judge each other ,  we are also judging and condemning ourselves, and that  demands that we become both JAILER and PRISONER and that they are inseparably locked together. 

So my first objective in seeking awaking is to recall to memory, examine with the Holy Spirit, and remove or forgive,  all judgements I have made which binds the dream.   As Jesus stated  “First, remove the beam from your eye so you can remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”   Housecleaning begins at home. 

My second task is to realize  that what I see,  in this world,  is the result of an egoic projection of denial of God’s creation, or an ILLUSION.    The ego has projected out guilt upon other egos,  in a feeble attempt, to validate it’s innocents and specialness.   Assuming this is so,  I should NOT  try to change the world, but first,  CHANGE MY MIND about the world I see.   Look, Listen and Do Not Judge,   Leave ALL judgements to the Holy Spirit and through that united Vision, see that ‘their’ and  ’my’ suffering and desires are the same.   To see suffering, fear, attack, or Lack of Love, is witnessing through a egoic perspective – Christ’s Vision is to see only a “call for Love or Love itself”, so that,  in either case,  the only response is LOVE.   

I need to always remember that it would be impossible,  for any character in this world,  to forgive anything,  merely because they are not the dreamer of the illusion – the Christ, the collective Sons of God,  are.    The best, that any characters can do,  IS TO BE WILLING AND NOT JUDGE or bind the dream, and allow Christ Vision to FORGIVE and change the dream.   FORGIVENESS is Christ’s function, leave it to Him,   I need only have the willingness to allow it to happen.

Therefore my, Frank’s,  only earthly function then would be to continue my personal “beam removal” and assist the others in realizing the need to awaken.  To change my mind about the world and only offer Love, Compassion, and a willingness to forgive.   “To love my neighbor as myself.”     To this end, what immediately comes to mind is the prayer attributed to  St. Francis of Assisi

When you see it everywhere !

Sawadee Khrap

I learned in AA the Serenity Prayer:   God , Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the power to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Buddha’s instructions, for obtaining Nirvana or Peace, is to let go of all attachments, including one’s own image of self.    But aren’t all attachments just judgements, my determination of what is good or bad,  from my personal perspective?   Check out Non-self – a unique teaching of the Buddha | Ajahn Brahmali 

Jesus stated, “Judge NOT lest Ye Be Judged” and   “Whatever you bind or loose on earth will be bound or loosed in Heaven” and topped it off with the statement: “Remove the beam from your eye before you try to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”

ACIM – I need DO NOTHING, in fact I need only to STOP doing or judging and allow the Holy Spirit to lead.   I am not a body, I am free. I am still as God Created me.    Look, Listen, and Do Not Judge.

and my Oracle ACIM Reading for today :  Workbook Lesson #277  – Let me not bind Your Son with laws I made. 

Your Son is free, my Father.  Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to rule the body.  He is not subject to any laws I made by which I try to make the body more secure.  He is not changed by what is changeable.  He is not slave to any laws of time.  He is as You created him, because he knows no law except the law of love.


Let us not worship idols, nor believe in any law idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of God.  He is not bound except by his beliefs.  Yet what he is, is far beyond his faith in slavery or freedom.  He is free because he is his Father’s Son.  And he cannot be bound unless God’s truth can lie, and God can will that He deceive Himself.”

When I see it everywhere I think it’s safe to say someone or something is trying to tell me something !!!   I think it’s finally settling in.
