“The overall pointing is: just the ego must be transcended. Some people say ‘kill it.’ I say you cannot kill what does not exist. You can only expose its unreality and there is no more to it. To kill it, you need to become a killer, and you do not need to kill anything. Once it is seen that it is just a thought, — really seen and experienced – that illusion is dispelled. It is finished.” Mooji
Tips From Regina – Lesson 61, I am the light of the world
Here are some things to contemplate as you contemplate today’s workbook lesson:
In our reading from ‘I Am That’ at the last Gentle Healing Group, Nisargadatta pointed to your reality as that which “imparts reality to all it touches.” I said that your reality, awareness/attention, is the light of the world, and I asked you to be aware of that as you contemplate today’s lesson.
Nisargadatta said, “One could say that the true becomes the father of the false.” How do we “impart reality” to the false? With that in mind, how can we accept our “role in salvation” instead of imparting reality to the false?
Can you look during your contemplation periods today and see that you are awareness? Can you see that you are more intimately awareness than the body? More intimately awareness than the mind?
What gives power to a thought and makes it seem meaningful? Can you see that it is your attention that makes a thought seem meaningful?
What causes an emotion like anger or jealousy to become manifest in your body? Can you see that attention on thought creates emotion? Can you see for yourself that your attention is an activating force?
Notice that you have freewill regarding where you place your attention/awareness. Play with that during one or two of your contemplation periods. Place attention on different feelings in your body, on different sounds, and different sights. Notice you are the caster of attention.
What does your freewill regarding attention have to do with salvation? What does freewill regarding attention have to do with “all the images you have made about yourself”? What does your freewill regarding attention have to do with ‘fathering the false’ or realizing truth?

Developing Trust Interview – Amy Torres
Listen to the recording
Amy Torres is a well-loved spiritual teacher, Gestalt psychotherapist, and author of Sweet Dreams of Awakening: 365 Good Night Blessings. In 1998, after faithfully practicing all of the lessons in the workbook practice in A Course in Miracles, Amy had a spiritual awakening.
Amy’s work takes an experiential approach to spirituality. It’s not enough to read mystical texts, and it’s not enough to understand them intellectually. There is a felt-experience in the body that confirms you seem to be in the world but are not of it.
This experience lights up your path, makes you feel light-hearted, helps you recognize the Bright Presence of your Inner Teacher, and clarifies what being a miracle receptor and transmitter feels like.
She currently writes the popular Ask Amy column in Miracles magazine, and co-hosts a weekly radio show called Pure Presence: Herein Lies the Peace of God with Bill Free on Unity.fm.
Look for Amy’s webinars, interviews and other videos on YouTube. To ask her a question, email miracles@amytorresacim.com. Visit amytorresacim.com if you “Want to know how God sees you?”

Tips From Regina – Regina’s Review, Lesson 60
Review 46. God is the Love in which I forgive. I am ready for advanced forgiveness now. Advanced forgiveness is letting go of all ego thought, even that which appears benign and necessary, like thinking through a problem that needs to be solved. Letting go of ego can feel like letting go of ‘me.’ However, the spaciousness in which this happens and the spaciousness that remains when it is done, is what I am. Let me prepare myself for this completion by resting deeply in myself frequently, so that I become familiar and the ego feels strange and out-of-place.
Review 47. God is the strength in which I trust. In order to forgive, I cannot rely on the judgment I have trusted in the past. That judgment is thinking. The mind itself is ego; it calls thinking, ‘me.’ It feels safe with itself. But my error is confusing it with the light that I am. Let me know the light as myself by resting deeply in the light frequently. In the light, I am detached from the mind. In the light, I know myself.
Review 48. There is nothing to fear. All fear comes from the belief that I am the body-mind. The body is vulnerable. The mind can suffer. But I am neither. I am the light that imparts reality, because I am reality itself. Reality is invulnerable to anything that comes and goes with time. Let me know myself by placing attention with myself frequently. As I see what I am as myself, I know there is nothing to fear.
Review 49. God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day. All I need to do is listen. Listening is a simple shift of attention. I shift attention from habitual thinking to that which is in the heart now, from past and future to presently guiding. It is not difficult. All it takes is the desire to leave the ego for truth. Desire paired with trust.
Review 50. I am sustained by the Love of God. Fear of God comes from the belief that I am different than God. In seeing myself as the same, there is nothing to fear. There is mystery, but mystery can be trusted. I rest knowing mystery can be trusted, and I am the light.
