The main thing I don't really like about ideas of non-duality and oneness, is that it really ignores the CREATIVE qualities of God.
If there is only God, and there is nowhere to go, and nothing to do, and God is...
Jesus often speaks truth in such a simple way yet so deep and profound and accurate and wise... he said in reference to other people:
"Let them come to God willingly, do not try to force them to home."

When there are ego beliefs which say, there is some truth to something opposite to God's truth, you will not be willing, ready, or able, to accept atonement.
You'll want to accept it but there will be something in you which...
The ego is simply a state of split mindedness in which your will has started to will against itself.
This is the result of you attempting to will against God's will.
It now seems that something is attacking you, and that you...
"The world, in the original connotation of the term, included both the proper creation of man (souls/sons) by God and the proper creation by man in his right mind (his own free-will creations).
The latter (the son’s ability to create) required...
To accept the Atonement is to accept that God's truth is the truth. It also means accepting that nothing else is true.
Jesus demonstrates this when He speaks of His own state of Atonement:
"There is nothing about me that you cannot...
The truth is plain and clear. It can be presented in a perfectly clear manner. It can be spelled out with such logical clarity that anyone in their right mind would have absolutely no problem accepting it makes sense and...
Sin is really an attempt to make out that God is evil. It’s an attempt to turn a "loving cause" into "an evil cause".

In many areas of life at the moment, Holy Spirit's guidance to me is to "try".
I have seen in many ways how I stop myself or don't do something, on the basis of the ego's justifications, which basically goes like...
A belief in separation takes place within your own mind. Your own mind becomes divided. A portion of your will goes into one part and the rest into another. Eventually this forms the conscious self and the unconscious self.

God's will is already done.
There is no separation between cause and effect. He has willed what you are, and you share His will with Him. You can therefore will to extend the Kingdom of God and to Create in His...
To be a miracle worker who does their own will, is a spiritual ego. Becoming miraculous while maintaining the ego is a good disguise for pretending to be a miracle worker while blocking God!
It becomes apparent that miracles are only...
When Jesus says that nothing can happen without our consent, and that nobody can die without their own consent, what he's saying seems pretty extreme.
We are so used to living in such a way that we constantly believe things happen...
In the course, Jesus says that decisions are constant. You don't make a decision as though it's one point in time, and then move on with life as though you are no longer deciding. You don't 'choose' something and then...
At some point, in order to progress further in awakening, we have to realize that we're going to have to willingly do the will of God, rather than our separate will.
We can only go so far holding onto individuality and...
