You're thinking all the time and you're teaching all the time based on what you think you are. And that lends yourself to come to more of a purification of that thinking. So that your attitude is loving and open and gentle. And those are the characteristics of the Teacher of God. Those kind of attributes and traits that really you can feel the presence through that. And for me that's been the thing. I was in Roscoe one time and I was in the community kitchens and I walked in and there was a woman in there that was seemingly complaining and judging and complaining and judging and one by one the people just leaving the kitchen. Although I was really engaging with her where I was really just joining with her beyond that. Just really tuning in with her and beyond the surface stuff. And then little by little one by one everybody left and we were the only two left. And it actually turned into quite a joyful experience and I saw her later on in my travels. Then when I traveled around to other places in Roscoe on the foundation they would say I learned more from watching you with that woman in the community kitchen than I did from the lectures in the main lecture space. Because the lectures were just about the metaphysics and just about the teachings. But the demonstration was what they really felt they learned more from. They were more inspired by just kind of seeing past all that stuff. And in the end that's the part that really sticks in your mind is when you feel inspired by something or you feel joy and open-mindedness and non-judgment. Oh yeah, that's attractive. I doubt about that. But that's what they get you all the time like you never do. It's always, if you accuse anyone who's speaking, it's being conceptualized during every Alan Conception. Concepts. They kind of say something like that. Yeah, that's been a common thing. But the course is many different kind of ideas and concepts and there's a one point where it's like salvation's task is it's changing concepts and the Holy Spirit has to help you approach forgiveness or a ton of it which is still a concept because it wasn't created. But it's the highest concept and so you kind of keep exchanging self-concepts.  Then the more you start to go into it it's more like this teacher of God concept starts to come in. And then you have to unlearn that one too because that's just a stepping stone idea. As he says, the teacher and the learner are really one, they're really the same and it's just the mind going through a conversion process. It's just important to be willing to not just cling to any concepts like to think I'm on a romantic ladder and I like it here. I'm just going to camp out and Jesus is always pushing, keep pushing higher, higher, higher. That's what's great. The Course says you don't have to be without impure thoughts. You have to be willing to let them go. They don't have to be perfect. I think that Mary Ann Williamson is likely to come closer to the Course concepts perhaps. She feels free to do that. She's also left that church of today too. He's got her own holy analogy. That's the thing when you seem to be involved with an organization or a church where Mary Ann was very much of an autonomous lecturer going wherever and then yearning for a spiritual home and then church of today seemed to suit that but then again you have a board of directors telling you what you can and can't do and in the end organized religion is an oxymoron or a contradiction of terms because you can't organize the present moment as much as the mind may try to like he says in the workbook. If you try to activate the past, organize the present or plan the future he says in Lesson 135 then you're missing it. That's quite a thing. Trust here. No activating the past, no organizing the present, no planning the future. I've got a friend who's been going down the church of today when he attends to see Mary Ann and she writes to me emails every once in a while about how it's changed and since she's left there's like the attendance at church today has gone precipitously dropped. It's like half of what it used to be when Mary Ann was there and Mary Ann is doing something on a regular basis but maybe once a month or so in Detroit and apparently packing them in so it's like the success she had there is kind of followed her so it's kind of an interesting phenomenon. It's more inroads just like the Jerry Jim Volsky's books and they've been used in the plan for people to hear about of course miracles. As far as actually taking it a lot deeper it goes so, so much deeper than that but everybody, it's all maximal everybody's got to start somewhere. It has to be bridges. And so I always see how everything's serving the plan perfectly and one time somebody was asking me about these different people all these different teachers and everything I said they're all agents in my mind and they're working perfectly where they are right now but that takes it out of the context of trying to have an opinion about who's doing this and this and that because it's all a reflection of mine. Yeah, they can all be seeing different things and yet all be right on for their particular audience because they're really talking. Yes, the bridge. Different levels. The bridge is established. That's interesting. If they're doing what Holy Spirit calls them to do then they're doing it just perfect. And if you want to reach the masses today you have to sit with Oprah and Marianne and Marianne in contact with her well I didn't carry his book the teacher said that too and they called her the Holy Rap Artist, Marianne Lewis but they did acknowledge that this push will probably reach more people in numbers than anyone else because at the level that she's available there are more people that will listen to her at this point. Yeah, even for that it's stepping stones because I was talking to somebody recently who was really involved with Marianne's work and they said, well there was that phase that she was on Oprah and everything but then there was a bit of a pulling out where Marianne had contacted him and Oprah just said no I'm not interested in going further with this publicizing any more books or listening to this but again all things work together for good so it's always like you can't push the river you can just be grateful for everything that happens and just say see the glory in that and lots of them like Wayne Dyer for years getting more into the course and it's just been George Mulski has written some of those books that have been translated very simple books with little caricatures and everything I know several people have started out with his logos letting go of fear that's where they started and later they wanted to find out where he got that stuff from and then they finally went to the course they never looked any further


Give it to Zach Roberts, straight ahead. Touchdown, Pikeville. There's the big play you didn't want to give up. Still on his feet is Dixon. Dixon will take this one all the way to the house. Roberts takes a snap off the left side, dive to the end zone. Touchdown, Pikeville. Three-yard, Connor Roberts. Touchdown run.
