It was the ego-self's quitting Love that, metaphysically speaking, brought paradise down. The ego part of the mind that clings to the thought of quitting Love naturally threatens your suicide, in order to bring about your allegiance to the idea of separation through paralyzing grief. And yet, it could never actually do it, because it … Continue reading Gray matter
Category: Mental Illness
After Self was illuminated in Dec 2007, I unwittingly turned away from the Holy Spirit, and back to ego. In August of 2008 I had a severe mental health break down, and essentially became unable to function upright for several years. In 2010 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I discovered through psychosis that I cannot live a life without God’s Love; therefore, I stopped turning to ego. Mental illness continues as long as I identify with the brain as the source of life, and not God. I am Healed of that very thought, when I join in God’s Love.
True empathy is allowing for only Self-Love
“Think not that happiness is found by following a road leading away from it”. (ACIM) All suffering is based on the illusion that separation from Love is possible, which it is not. But the belief that it is possible to live without acknowledging Love as one's Source causes great suffering. At the root of suffering … Continue reading True empathy is allowing for only Self-Love

Lose the gods of sickness
One either chooses to look upon the world through Love, which is how God, Who is Love, would have His Son Know Perfect Health - or with fear, which is how ego, or the inventor of the gods of sickness, would have creation appear to suffer and die. Such a pair of diametrically opposed viewpoints … Continue reading Lose the gods of sickness
Understand the Christ
It's a common misconception that to empathize with suffering is kindness that will lead to a higher state, wherein mind can rest in peace. Yet the idea of sharing suffering is not peaceful to mind, it is agonizing. It is not kindness or love or peace to make suffering seem real, but to make the … Continue reading Understand the Christ
No vacancy of love
How to be vigilant for the Kingdom of God? You are the Kingdom, and you are Love. So to be vigilant for Love, cancel out non-loving thoughts.

Find the split and let it go
Healing happens as mind resumes Knowledge of Self-Love. Sometimes the body appears to follow suit, and heal as well. And yet, all bodily healing is as temporary as perception itself; permanent healing happens in the mind, regardless of the physical, when the will is Known to Be Unified with God's. This is why it is … Continue reading Find the split and let it go
Deep surrender, deep Love
With deep surrender of the thoughts about the content of consciousness is Awareness of deep Love. Surrender of emotional attachment to the temporary uncovers the infinite Awareness of the Context that Sources Allness, Always. Only ego or the voice for the temporary would have one get emotional when the temporary seems threatened. Spirit, though, cannot … Continue reading Deep surrender, deep Love
A call for Self Love
Byron Katie told her dying friend essentially that “she wouldn't know what love really was until she loved her tumour”. She told her this, because her friend had asked her to always tell her the truth. What Katie did by making good on her promise was give her friend permission to love her self without … Continue reading A call for Self Love
Spiritualized Reality Therapy
Mental health is a reflection of being in alignment with the Loving Will of Self. Does mental health therapy that excludes the Self's one desire to be in alignment with Will work? Temporarily, perhaps. But because non-faith-based reality therapy doesn't address the “Son's” one desire for the “Father's” Love, it can still only be a … Continue reading Spiritualized Reality Therapy

Trumping the Experiencer
Personality or persona-wise, there was identification with the bipolar mood phenomenon going back to early childhood. The meaning of bipolar seemed innate to brain chemistry and/or mental health problems, until the return to Awareness of God as Self in middle age prompted a different understanding of it. The experience of bipolar mood swings has changed; … Continue reading Trumping the Experiencer
