Ladies and gentlemen the president on the United States. Thank you. Thank you very much Please be seated and thank you. Dr. Margaret Seegers and dr. Paul. Hooray for putting this conference together I'm looking forward to receiving a copy of your final report It's a pleasure to be here today with the presidents and supporters of colleges and universities that has meant so much to American life From the day the first black college Cheney University opened its doors in 1837 the institutions that you represent Support have been an important and irreplaceable pillar in both higher Education and the struggle against injustice in our country At the time Cheney admitted its first student It was actually against the law in parts of the country to teach black children to read and write From that time to this Education has been the spark to light the torch of hope and opportunity for black Americans That's why men like Frederick Douglass Booker T. Washington Dr. Martin Luther King jr. Understood and stressed the importance of education As Frederick Douglass once said a little learning indeed may be a dangerous thing But the want of learning is a calamity to any people Today your schools award the some 40% of all degrees that are earned by black students in the United States 85% of black physicians 60% of black pharmacists 40% of black attorneys 50% of black engineers and 75% of black military officers and 80% of black judges are graduates of America's 101 historically black colleges and universities You know mentioning military officers Martin Luther King used to remind us that black Americans are among our greatest patriots And I take special pride in mentioning this because I remember during the war. I Narrated a film about a group of such patriots Pilots being trained at Tuskegee Including one who would go on to become a great general and a national hero Chappy James And even though I was only a member of the horse cavalry I can't tell you how proud I am that They made me an honorary member of the Tuskegee Airmen I don't know whether that was because even as a horse cavalryman come World War two I found myself flying a desk for the Air Force But I'm proud to that the tradition of patriotism I saw when I was working on that film is being carried out of the strong ROTC programs on many of your campuses When we first came to Washington our Administration recognized the vital role that historically black colleges and universities Continue to play in American life That's why five years ago this week. I signed executive order 12 3 2 0 Since then federal funding to your institutions has increased from 545 million in 1981 to 629 million in 1985 In the past five years We've helped rescue from financial collapse several prestigious historical black schools Including Fisk University and Mahari Medical College We also helped to improve the administrative infrastructure of many historically black colleges and that's helped to make them more of Of what they have and of course our work continues And in a goal that I believe is particularly important. We've encouraged greater private participation in your colleges and Universities it's part of our whole approach really But too long well-meaning government programs had lured too many Americans into the deep dark caverns of dependency We want to help free them to climb out and walk in the sunlight of pride and independence So we're working to create enterprise zones and establish a youth employment opportunity wage We established the job training partnership act We cut taxes for all Americans and with tax reform perhaps the greatest anti-poverty program in history We'll take six million lower-income Americans off the rolls entirely We've also said that helping ensure the health and independence of your schools Was is and will be one of the most important steps we can take in making ours truly an opportunity Society for all Americans So that's why we're here today to recognize some of the partnerships between business and historically black colleges in the fields of science and technology and I understand that in the past two days You've talked about how to encourage more of those partnerships America today is pioneering a new industrial revolution a revolution that's creating new jobs new technologies new businesses and new opportunities and Changing the way we think and work a revolution in which America is the world leader a Revolution so profound that some believe that it's only compatible with free societies and that once it pierces the walls of the communist world Those walls may begin to crumble and fall Many graduates of your schools Have helped lead our nation in this revolution For example an American hero dr. Ronald McNair who was a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University and a member of the Challenger shuttle crew We need more young men and women of genius and courage like dr. McNair If we're to continue to lead this revolution This week I'm told you've discussed such imaginative proposals as tapping the vast array of talent and experience in America's community of retired scientists technologists and engineers with the help of corporate research departments private foundations and Professional societies you will recruit retirees to serve as visiting faculty members Scholars or researchers You've also discussed a new partnership for science with business Companies would adopt a department or an entire school and make a long-term commitment to its development Foundations would join with the corporate community Already our award winners today have blazed the trail Partnerships such as those of Atlanta University those between the Texas Experiment Station and Prairie View A&M University and Those between Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and Jackson State University have shown the way to the future Now I've talked about the special problems and opportunities that America's Historically black colleges and universities face Let me turn for a moment if I can to something that faces us all Not as blacks or whites and not just as educators workers or employers But as Americans I'm talking of course about the threat of drugs Now last Sunday, maybe you caught us Nancy and I talked to the nation about drugs We shared our thoughts not just as president and first lady, but as parents and grandparents It's not often that a fellow guest to quote his wife, but I know when I've been upstaged Besides Nancy said it best when she said that Today there is a drug and alcohol abuse epidemic in this country and no one is safe from it Not you not me and certainly not our children because this epidemic has their name written on it Nearly two-thirds of high school seniors use an illegal drug at least once before graduating 40% of high school seniors have used drugs in addition to marijuana At least 17% of the class of 1985 tried cocaine The highest level ever and it's going up in all groups urban and rule college-bounded not male and female Everyone and it doesn't stop with high school Almost one in every five college students reports great pressure to use drugs Some of the most eloquent voices warning against the drug plague are in this room President Willie Robinson of Florida Memorial College put it this way recently He said there is a problem that is tearing the soul out of our young people And Tuskegee President Benjamin Payton said the use of drugs should be banned not only on campus But in homes in the community and in the country Well, that's what Nancy and I are calling on all Americans to do I'd like to interject something this morning I turned on the set real quick because I knew she'd been taped and was appearing in an interview on the air and She was asked a question about where you know how far down does this begin and I had forgotten this answer that she had learned on one of her trips the various treatment centers The lad eight years of age not only a user but a pusher and He carried one of those beeper things sitting in class If he got the signal on the beeper he excused himself and went out because the beeper meant he had a customer outside waiting to buy That's how early and that's why as she said their names Our children's names are the ones that are written on it well the Nancy and I are calling as I say on all Americans to do It won't be the campaign against drugs one with more police. Although that'll help Won't be one just with tighter control on our borders. Although that will help and it won't be one just in schools Although that's important It won't be one just in the fraternities or sororities or dormitories and that's important Won't be one just in our workplaces no matter how important they are It won't be one just in our homes. Although they're very important, too It won't be one just in any of those places. It has to be one in all of those places And I believe it will be now It's a crusade. We must fight on every front from the borders of our magnificent country and beyond to the inner soul That God gave us where we must each find the courage for the battle in a field in France He's buried a young man an American soldier who died in the first world war He was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy fire After his death and the fly leaf of the diary that was found on his body. He had written these words America must win this war Therefore I will work. I will save I will sacrifice. I will endure. I will fight cheerfully And do my utmost as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone Well, this is how America will win the crusade against drugs the way we've met every other great challenge The way we've overcome every other great obstacle Not by making excuses, but by each of us doing our part by pulling together Nancy and I are saying it's time for all of us to join together to kick drugs and drug dealers out of our schools Off our campuses out of our homes out of our communities and out of our country You college and university presidents are leading in so many areas of education. I ask you to lead in this way, too Now I think we have a few awards to hand out Thank you very much. Mr. President.

Same thing with the pound gen, we're looking for pullbacks into areas, so that's the daily zone right there, so we're looking for a bit of a pullback potentially from wherever it's the hourly, you're looking to get involved here, looking to get involved here. What I do like though, you know what I do like, and this is just from a technical, I don't want to get into the technicals just yet, but there is a very nice level here. Now, why is that a level that I'm definitely interested in? Tell you why. And for those of you who haven't done capture pain relief, you'll understand this more when you do the course, right? So there's a level, level, level, the resistance, resistance, bit of support, resistance, resistance. Yeah, exactly, you see it. What do you see? What do you see, Mark? What kind of setup is that CPR wise? What kind of level is that? What setup is that? Dragging trade is long, absolutely, absolutely. It's dragging trade is long in real time. Yeah, it's dragging trade is in, yeah, long in real time. So you've got one second, I'm just going to add Kevin into the group. Right, so you can see in real time, yeah, we've had traders getting in long from here, you can see a level that's been touched what once, twice breakout traders are in. Yeah, breakout traders are in.  There are some retracement traders there as well. But now they get caught in their positions. So this whole area, yeah, you're thinking breakouts, brilliant. That's exactly it. That's exactly it, Marita. So this area here is what I would call a nice capture pain relief within the supply zone. Because if they went long, now they have to do what to exit? They have to sell to exit.  Yeah, if price ever comes back to this area, where do you think the best place to get short is? It's got to be right there. That's where there's going to be nice supply. Because if these guys went long here, then they have to get short to exit, which is supply. There are going to be new traders entering trades. Yeah, based on what resistance, resistance, resistance should become what? Resistance here. Yeah, and if they're going to enter new trades, then they're going to do what? Get short. And also you've got traders exactly profit taken to exactly mock profit taking from these guys who are buying down here. Where's the problem area here? Right, short, short, short. So lots of, lots of, lots of supply going on here. And again, the question you have to ask yourself is who is buying at highs? Who is buying at highs? Yeah, this is a probability, by the way. This is not guaranteed trading is probabilities. But what we do have, if you list what we do have on our side, yeah, we have, we have risk sentiment on our side. So we've got, we've got this on our side, as far as the Japanese yen we want to be a buyer of, which means that we need to get short. Yeah, so risk sentiment. Also, what's going to make the pound potentially fall as well? Well, with the pound, we have problems. We still have Brexit. Yeah, we still have Brexit. We still have, you know, the UK is set to leave the EU this month, but uncertainty is unlikely to end there. An extension to the 11 month standstill transition. So there's uncertainty with the pound. Yeah, expect another turbulent year for Brexit. Don't count on the extension, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Don't expect quick answers. Yeah. And I posted this, you can read this article in the, in the UK Discord channel. Yeah, have a read of this. So not only do we have war going on, we have uncertainty with the British pound. So uncertainty with the British pound should do what to the pound? What should, what should traders actually do with the pound or what traders, what will traders do with the pound? Sell. Exactly, Maria. You're not buying it because Brexit is still exactly weak in it. Absolutely, Kevin. Yeah. So net, net. Yeah. Yeah, I can, I can, I can't hear you, Kev, but I can read your, your messages. I can read your messages. And we'll keep it like this for now, if anything. Yeah. Oh, put a new speaker on. Are you saying that you did? Oh, okay, no worries. Well, as long as you can hear me, I can't hear you, but it's okay for now, it's fine. Just, we'll just leave it as it is and, you know, we'll just use the, the box to type. But yeah, going back to this, no worries, mate. So going back to the actual setup, we can see now, we can see now why this should be a trade in this area of daily demand should be an area where we want to get short. Why are you getting long? And that's not to say that this trade is going to work out 100%. We have no idea. Yeah. Because when we're in the trade, risk could come back on again. Who knows? Yeah. Brexit could get sorted. Who knows? We have no idea. But for now, all the odds are in our favor from a fundamental perspective. Yeah. Sorry, one sec, one sec, Maria. All right. So from a fundamental perspective and risk and risk sentiment, yeah, we have, you know, we're buying the Japanese yen, money should flow into the Japanese yen and that of the British pound because there's also Brexit risk as well. Yeah. So we've covered the fundamentals from a psychological perspective and the supply and demand perspective we should have if prices ever do get up here, we should have more supply here than demand. Yeah. From a technical analysis perspective. All right. So there we go. And what we do, the final piece of the puzzle, right, which everyone always obsesses over, right, which is the last bit of the puzzle is we've done our analysis now on this whole trade. And this is what I do. Yeah. And this whole trade, this is where I want to get involved in. So what I'll do now is I'll set an alert somewhere around here. Yeah. It's not necessarily specific, but somewhere just around here where I will say, all right, then if prices come up here now and they, you know, they're around here, they're going to let me know, I wait for price to come to me.  That's basically how the process goes. Yeah. So getting back to your question, Maria.


Y'all so I'm getting ready to make this green tea rinse. We have some organic green tea a glass jar and Applicated jar and I also have my coffee mug because I'm gonna make myself some tea. Why not consume it, right? So I'm gonna take one bag of the green tea place one back into my coffee mug and one back into the glass jar Pour some boiling hot water on top of it, and I'm gonna allow that to seep for about five to eight minutes, okay? Again, you want to make sure that the tea that you use regardless of if it's green or black tea Try to make sure that it's organic tea y'all. I'm gonna also add some tea tree oil To my tea. So here I'm just pouring it into the applicator jar. I've allowed it to cool off some okay Hey y'all, so I am back here today to discuss hair shedding and what I plan on doing to help Reduce the shedding that I'm currently experiencing So last month I noticed that my hair was shedding a lot more than what I am accustomed to Not only that but when I am detangling my hair when I am styling my hair or setting my hair in a style I should say I'm getting a lot more hair coming out I'm going to be including some clips in between this video of me setting my hair actually with this style and quite A bit of hair came out No, this is the first time I've actually styled and used a comb on my hair in about a month So shed it hair is expected, but a little bit more than I'm used to let me see if I can gather it.  I've got a lot of hair on me One thing I do want to stress is that if you feel like you possibly have some type of Vitamin deficiencies definitely make sure that you go to your doctor to check that. I'm one who Goes to the doctor quite often and I have labs check I just had labs done like two months ago So I do have a vitamin D deficiency and I do take Vitamins for that. I take a number of different vitamins also is more than likely for me a combination of hormones and Stress-related so I do have an appointment with my OBGYN to discuss some of the hormonal issues I've been experiencing Honestly since the pandemic has hit But with that being said I also want to ensure that I'm incorporating healthy hair practices to reduce the shedding in Addition to seeking medical advice from a doctor. So I just want to put the disclaimer out there So y'all as I stated when I was washing my hair, I'm looking down at my hands I'm like girl. What what's going on? And so I personally always knew that green tea which I have here in the applicator jar It's great to help reduce shedding So this is one thing I will be doing and I will be demonstrating that in this video in addition to that is Upping my deep conditioning now at this point. I was deep deep conditioning every two weeks now It's gonna be whenever I Wash my hair which is basically weekly I will be deep conditioning my hair plus it's getting a little cooler here in Phoenix And so I want to ensure that I'm deep conditioning properly also upping my protein I typically only do I I know this is kind of bad before a while there I thought I was having while I was having protein overload So I reduced them on a protein. I was applying it using for my hair But you have to understand protein serves its benefits I mean our hair is primarily protein So it's really good to ensure that you have that protein moisture balance So I will be going in between the Africa's best original is hair mayonnaise Along with the ORS hair mayonnaise for protein treatments I do have a review on both of these separately and I have a comparison review on that Okay So you want to make sure when you do a protein treatment that you follow up with a Moisturizing deep conditioner and for me personally I like to use the Queen Helen cholesterol and I add a bunch of oils and honey and it makes a great Moisturizing deep conditioner a video on that too, which I will be linking in the cards So for this particular video y'all you'll see me you see Green tea rinse and then I'm just basically gonna follow up with that with a deep conditioner You won't see that you'll just see me apply the green tea rinse another great thing is Bam finna Greek now. I've been using this off and on for a year But I'm just gonna keep using it. Okay. All right, you guys So I'm gonna go ahead and wash my hair and then come back on cam to apply the rinse I'm gonna allow it to sit in my hair for about 15 minutes Are you guys so I'm getting ready to apply the green tea rinse now as you see I have my hair steamer here. Literally once I jump into the shower. I'm going to take my protein deep conditioner Apply that let it sit for about 30 to 40 minutes But then with the moisturizing deep conditioner again This was the Queen Helen and the honey and the olive oil. I'm gonna sit under the hair steamer I will be linking in the cards separate videos on how I steam my hair and the recipe for this Moisturizing deep conditioning. So anyway, girl, let's go ahead and apply this to my hair again, I have a little bit of tea tree all in here and By a little bit. I mean like 15 drops. You feel that see seeping all the way down So what I'm going to do y'all is to clip my hair up in certain areas and I'm going to put a bonnet on I can't find my jumbo plastic cap And I don't want to use cloth because that is drying into the hair unlike satin so I have tons of these that I can use so and That is it y'all I'm just gonna leave this on like I said for 15 minutes or so and just to show y'all when I Detangle my hair earlier. This is all I got and typically I would get Sometimes three times as much as that So this is not a lot at all and I use my wooden comb along with finger detangling to get my hair out So so again only at this point. I've been doing this for about a month I can see the benefits of using the green teen rinse It has definitely minimized the amount of hair that is coming out. So that is it everyone Thank you so much for watching and thank you as always to all the new subscribers


Snake bites are a major public health issue in the Brazilian Amazon, leading to physical deficiencies and local complications. Indigenous populations have limited access to anti-venom treatments, resulting in more severe outcomes than those seen in non-Indigenous populations. Three cases of severe disabilities were reported in Indigenous children due to Bothrops atrox snake bites with symptoms including compartment syndrome, secondary bacterial infections, and extensive necrosis. Delayed anti-venom treatment due to fragmented transportation routes and lack of rehabilitative services resulted in extended hospital stays and separation from home and family. These cases highlight the need for prospective studies to assess the burden of disabilities from snake bites in the Amazon region so that public policy can be developed to provide culturally appropriate care and rehabilitation.

I want you to do your best in the different events today. Parents, fans, for coming to support the children, teachers, and everybody else's sponsors. And with those few words, I formally declare the 2024 Special Education Sports Program open. Special needs students came ready to have fun and ready to meddle in the many sporting and fun events organized by the Special Education Unit on a special day. The fun events followed a match pass of special needs athletes all decked out in their colors, complemented with banners and cheerleading sides. Education officer for special education, Dale Sergy, says the initiative is a great way for students from the various special schools on the island to meet and have fun, along with their parents and well-wishers to build relationships and, most importantly, to boost their self-confidence. It is a wonderful thing when children with special needs can engage in sporting activities. School does not only build the mind of a student, but it builds the body, it builds their coordination, it builds every aspect of them. I also want to recognize the fact that today is an extra special day. Not only is it inter-special school sports, but it is the World Down Syndrome Day.  Right, I bet you yours are not more fancy than mine. Mr. Sergy says wearing colorful mismatched socks on Down Syndrome Day is a conversation starter to share information on the day's observance and how individuals can become allies of people with Down Syndrome. Acting Deputy Chief Education Officer Cyrus Seepal says the event is not just for the fun of it, but to raise awareness of the issues facing special needs students and says this event can translate into greater things for people with special needs. Sports teachers, I want you to identify these athletes who are very good so then we can see them on the international stage. Okay, because we know there is the Special Olympics and we normally have some persons representing Saint Lucia so we want to see some of these students move into the next level and be on the international stage. Mr. Seepal also threw out a challenge to the Special Education Unit to put a team together following the staging of the event to be part of a special mission to Dominica where students can compete and relate with special needs students in the Nature Isle. From the Communications Unit of the Department of Education, Innovation and Vocational Training, I am Chris Satney reporting.


The resources and energy analysis program REAP was devised in York now about five years ago. The idea being that we had this enormous evidence base on how we consume and the impacts of it, but weren't making this accessible to a policy audience at all different spatial levels, be it national, regional or local government. So the idea of REAP was to allow them to access this information and to ask what if questions about key policy areas that are of concern to them, albeit transport, housing, food, other products and services, behavioural change campaigns. And REAP now, as a software tool, is being used by over 60 government agencies across the UK and its popularity has meant that we are now producing it for other countries, Sweden being the next country on the list, but also a project now to actually implement REAP at a national level for the EU 27. It's our way of ensuring that evidence is built into the decision making process, that government bodies can be held accountable for the decisions that they make, and also that policies aren't built on anecdotal evidence but actually have some clear facts behind it.


This paper presents a technique for geometric correction and mosaic-ing of UAV photography using feature matching and structure from motion, SFM, photogrammetric techniques, which can provide high-resolution imagery at an unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. The small footprint of UAV imagery requires automated techniques to rectify and mosaic the imagery for larger area monitoring. The technique involves creating three-dimensional point clouds, transforming them into a real-world coordinate system using either direct geofurencing or ground control point, GCP, technique, generating a digital terrain model, DTM, and joining subsequent geo-referenced images to form a mosaic of the study area. The absolute spatial accuracy of the direct technique is 65-120 cm, while the GCP technique achieves an accuracy of approximately 10-15 cm.

That's where the story of any Special Forces advisor really starts, for North Iran, a jump's a jump. The same tension as you shuffle toward the plain door, the same big lift in your chest as you see that silk billowing out above you, and the same hard meeting with Mother Earth, for that's the same for any Army man who comes down in a parachute, even at a tactics class. One part of our course at Port Bragg Special Warfare School, it may be the safe ending to a flight, but his job is just beginning. You five students know your part in this exercise. You've been dropped presumably into enemy-held territory where guerrillas friendly to us are operating. You're to link up with the guerrilla force in your area, train them in the tactics which we've been teaching you, and follow through on a bridge destruction mission with them. All right, let's synchronize our watches. Time is now 0821, Lieutenant Weinman, yes, sir, you will be met by guides from your guerrilla band, move to your mission support site where you have the balance of today and tonight to organize your guerrillas, make your reconnaissance, and prepare for the attack. Your guerrillas will hit the bridge tomorrow morning prior to daylight. North Carolina, not the real thing, of course. The guerrillas are actually members of the staff of the Special Warfare School, but they play it to the hill. We were really operating as though in fact I was on a river bank in a remote country, teaching the guerrillas the best way to knock off an enemy-held bridge. It's all part of a class in tactics at Special Warfare School where the emphasis is placed on work in the field, not theorizing in a classroom. For the next two days and nights, I organized and rehearsed my guerrillas in the tactics of a raid. With the leader of the guerrillas, I reconointed the target, noted the key details. A two-man guard, one man at each end of the bridge. Two more men are sacked out below in sleeping bags. The men on guard are relieved every two hours. Acting on this information, we worked out final plans for the assault, and with a pale moon to help us, at 0-200 we made our move. In this exercise, my job was to instruct the guerrillas. The Special Forces man trains, assists, advises. He fights in the action only as a matter of self-defense. This one appeared to be going well. My instructions on the approach, on posting security, seemed to have paid off. Silently, the sleeping guards are taken care of. Had mistakes. Any idea what they were? Well, for one thing, we made way too much noise moving up to the bridge. Right, too much racket. You sound like a herd of elephants. And another thing, your guerrillas spent too much time in the target area to blow the bridge effectively. Then you can eliminate this problem by preparing more thoroughly. Remember, in this business of Special Forces, there's no room for mistakes. What's so special about this business of Special Forces? I had found out very soon after my arrival at Fort Bragg. It takes over where commando, ranger, and airborne leave off. Special Forces is, above all else, a challenge to a man's will, his talents, his physical attributes.  Gentlemen, in the assigned text, the author has described his impressions of a famous wartime guerrilla leader. Now, why are these impressions important to the area assessment that you will make? Captain Clark. Sir, the discussions with the resistance leader are friendly. Nevertheless, the Special Forces commander may be pitted against the guerrilla leader he's working with. In what sense? While the guerrilla leader may be anxious to fight the enemy, he's still an adversary in the sense that, well, to get more supplies or money, he may attempt to deceive as to the size of his force. Thank you, Captain Clark. Lieutenant Weinman. Sir, there is also this point that complicates the relationship between the Special Forces commander and the guerrilla leader. The guerrilla leader may be jealous of his position as number one man. And what if there's friction among the guerrillas? Well, in that case, if the recognized leader is in a weak position, the detachment commander may be forced to support a rival in his bid for leadership. The lectures, the discussion groups, all are over for the day now. But for every hour of class, there are several hours of studying. It's a mental as well as a physical obstacle course. It calls for thoroughness and concentration. The same way our Communist opposite numbers apply themselves to this line of work. They too devote great attention to the art of propaganda. And to cope with this weapon, we must first understand it ourselves. Offers many examples where special warfare operations have failed because they did not have the psychological operations support and preparation needed. Now, gentlemen, that is why... Psychological operations is one of three related activities carried out by specially trained men in the waging of special warfare. The others, with psychological operations support, are counterinsurgency operations and unconventional warfare. Name two prerequisites for successful guerrilla warfare, Lieutenant Weinem. An inaccessible area of operations and communications. Thank you. Captain Wilford. Captain, I was in Malaya for six years and rarely saw a guerrilla radio. Guerrilla communications was normally done by messenger. Thank you, Captain Wilford. This is not to say that communications are not desirable for successful guerrilla warfare. It's just that as a special warfare man, you must know how to make do without. As you well know, gentlemen, here at the school, we do stress communications. Okay, gentlemen, now assembled by the numbers, transmitter cable into power supply. Yes, they stress communications at the school all right. Not only the use and maintenance of equipment, both American and foreign, everything from shortwave radio to stringing wire in the jungle. There are all sorts of field expedients, like putting up a jungle antenna, made simply of field telephone wire on a 30-foot bamboo pole in place of the regular antenna. It doesn't require a requisition to supply, but it can extend the range of a radio set by four times. Because an infinite variety of daily challenges and tasks may lie ahead, the man who wears the green beret must master what seems like an infinite variety of skills. From a hovering helicopter, he repels fireman style, a 100-foot descent down a windswirld rope. He is trained to cope with medical emergencies in the field. He becomes proficient in the use of traps to snare wild game that can keep a man alive in distant reaches of the jungle, or an arctic wasteland. Above all, he knows the ultimate alternative faced by the special forces man in action. Adjust or die. So, he has learned to adjust, to live off the land, and on and off the water. For he may someday have to infiltrate into an area from the water, or a target. A hydroelectric plant, say, may be on a waterway. That's why amphibious training is essential. As a sport, scuba diving is catching on throughout the United States. But for us, scuba is not a sport, but a possible need of a military operation. It's not a matter of learning from a lecture, from charts, from books. We learn by doing, so we can teach foreign nationals. Help them to help themselves in the common struggle against communist aggression. Such handy things to know is the firing of a 3.5 rocket, electrically against supplies or equipment. A drum of fuel stands for supplies in the open. A turn of the blasting machine does the trick. The weeks fly by. Each day, each hour, a fountain of information, both in class and out. Many allied officers attend the school. Some of them have had first-hand contact with the guerilla type forces. And they have much to offer in the way of techniques and adaptations. Just as we have much to tell them, we get one big chance to put these techniques into practice. In the field training exercise, the climax of our course at the Special Warfare School. Over a desolate area near Fort Stewart, Georgia, we make a jump. I am one of a 12-man team. The basic Special Forces A detachment. Members from the school observe us every step of the way, watching how we react to situations thrown at us, how we handle ourselves and our contacts and work with the simulated guerilla force. Special Forces work calls for patience and working with people of other countries. For an American Special Forces advisor, maturity and calmness under pressure are required traits of character. After a hard week of training guerillas in the field, they are ready for the make or break event of the field exercise. My assignment, to instruct the guerillas on how to ambush a convoy. We have received information the convoy will be passing through the area at 1,100 hours of the next day. After the simulated ambush was started, it was over. Swiftly, the guerillas stripped the enemy aggressors and their vehicles of guns, ammo, food, and gasoline, a country that is our protection. A simulated attack, yes, but realistic practice for the real thing if it ever comes. With the end of the field exercise and the return to Fort Bragg, my course at the school is over. I had been trained, as all Special Forces men are, to instruct foreign nationals in Special Forces techniques. Some of the graduating officers will be assigned directly to Special Forces. They will have the right to wear the beret, which President Kennedy has called a symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom. But for me, the privilege of wearing the beret will have to be postponed for another year of special study, in preparation for a tour of duty in Iran. There, I will be assigned as a Special Forces advisor. But how will I communicate to the Iranian officers and soldiers I'll be instructing? The army is very much aware of this problem. And that's the reason I will not go directly overseas. Next stop, an intensive one-year course in Farsi, the language of Iran, at the Army Language School in Monterey, California. Khoshamadid, welcome to the Persian Department. You are beginning a year of intensive study of Farsi, Persian, a language spoken by 35 million people. Salam means hello, our first achievement in the adventure that is the learning of a new language. From the beginning, all communication is conducted in Farsi. Salam. Salam. Salam. Salam. Salam. Salam. Enchist. Enchist. Enchist. Enchist. Enchist. At first, as those early days go by, the repetition seemed endless. A language like Farsi, where you don't have the build-in boost of a romance language, like French or Spanish, it comes hard. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Enquitabast. Learning a new language makes you feel like a child, small and insecure, drifting in a world of strange baffling sounds that always seemed just beyond your comprehension. Baleh maham darsaman rayaad migirein. Baleh maham darsaman rayaad migirein. Baleh maham darsaman rayaad migirein. Baleh maham darsaman rayaad migirein. Baleh maham darsaman rayaad migirein. Baleh maham darsaman rayaad migirein. There are times when you feel it's too much. You'll never get it. Never achieve the point of being able to communicate with fluency, accuracy, and speed. The goal seems unreachable. Baleh maham darsaman rayaad migirein. But you plug away, not only in the formal classes, but in the language laboratory as well, every day for at least an hour. To be manzil rafti. Khakheritan be madriseraft. Khakheritan be madriseraft. Baleh khakherim be madriseraft. And then in your room too, often far into the night. You listen, then you repeat. Baleh zor be manzil miravim. You listen, then you repeat. You listen, then you repeat. Listen, repeat. Khakheritan be madriseraft. Never, even in the few hours a week available for recreation, could I forget the main problem at hand. At poolside, over lunch, driving in a car. All of us classmates had a rule. Farsi only. And Farsi it was. I had the good fortune to meet and become friends with a young Iranian student studying in a nearby university. Saturday afternoons might find us taking a walk through one of the more picturesque sections in and around Monterey. But sightseeing wasn't my object. Khakheritan be madriseraft. Baleh khakherim be madriseraft. Never, even in the few hours a week available for recreation, Khakheritan be madriseraft. It was starting to come a little easier. But I knew in my heart I still hadn't broken through to the level of language skill I wanted and needed for my next assignment. Then, one day, it happened. The turning point in the mastery of a foreign language. In my case, it happened on a judo mat to work out with my friend Iraj now and then. He was a beginner and I was teaching him a few simple holds. On one of them, he had the bad luck not to fall right. And for a second, I thought his arm was hurt. I was relieved that Iraj was not hurt but something else crossed my mind, too. In the excitement of the moment, wanting to communicate immediately to my Iranian friend, I'd called out to him, not in English, but in Farsi. That meant I'd reached the point of thinking in Farsi. I had the feeling that I'd come over a big hurdle that afternoon. And from then on, it seemed that progress came by leaps and bounds. Hesitations were fewer. I didn't have to strain for words. And more and more, I could express a complicated thought with less and less strain. All at once, we were approaching graduation time. We left behind the classroom situations, and we did a lot of work in Riala City, using Farsi in real situations, the kind I might be involved in overseas. My promotion came through very close to graduation day. Understandably, it was the first day of my graduation. I was very happy. My promotion came through very close to graduation day. Understandably then, a happy day for me. After the graduation ceremony, the faculty gave us a little celebration party. A toast was proposed. I had been chosen to answer for the group. I said, I am amazed that after one year of listening to our Farsi, you still remember your Farsi. I and the rest of the students thank you. Because of your understanding and patience, we have achieved our goal. We hope to get acquainted with the Iranian people and culture so that we can repay you for some of your hard work. Again, we thank you. And so, this story ends where it began. Iran, as a newly assigned Special Forces Advisor. On arrival, the officer I was to replace, and I, toured some of the installations of the Iranian military forces. A worthy and important ally in the free world defense structure. In up for me was a big challenge. But I felt I was ready for it. Certainly the army hadn't stinted in my training, training which, with my language skills, I would pass along to Iranian Special Forces units. For above all else, we of Special Forces want to help our brothers and arms in other countries to help themselves. From that moment, I knew it was up to me to live up to the meaning of the Green Beret. What President Kennedy calls a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom. And for me, in the months and years that loomed ahead, the Green Beret was to be something else as well. A mark to aim for, strive for, or as a Special Forces advisor in Iran.


a Course in Miracles live. We're going through the workbook of a Course in Miracles. Every day Jesus is giving us these beautiful ideas to embrace and to help us discern the difference between spirit which is real and the material world of time and space and bodies and so forth. The five senses which is unreal because it's temporary. It's temporary. It's blessed are those that see that the eternal is real and accept reality exactly as it is and and those who who put faith in the temporal into the temporary and believe that there is reality in the temporary then that that's what we call a grievance. So the light of the world is realized when you don't hold on to any grievances and we've had a whole string of workbook lessons here recently that have really been helping us to see that my grievances hide the light of the world in me and and holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation because God's plan for salvation is just forgiveness is seeing the false is false and looking upon the world with the Holy Spirit and with Jesus so so when you give reality to images then you're giving reality to the temporary and then that's not real. Jesus told us in his introduction of a Course in Miracles nothing real can be threatened nothing unreal exists herein lies the peace of God and that is our inheritance that's our birthright that's our natural state of mind peace peace be to you and peace be to all peace I offer the peace of God which is our inheritance so today we're going to move into workbook lesson 173 I will there be light today we are considering the will you share with God this is not the same as the ego's idle wishes out of which darkness and nothingness arise the will you share with God has all the power of creation in it the ego's idle wishes are unshared and therefore have no power at all its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make a world of illusions in which your belief can be very strong but they are idle indeed in terms of creation they make nothing that is real so how beautiful basically what Jesus is teaching us in the Course our ideas are strengthened as they're shared so God is the Creator God creates the Spirit Christ the light of Christ and that's an extension of God fully and then Christ has spiritual Spirit creations as well but that's a continuous line of creation but but the ego is the belief that ideas can leave their source that somehow the Son of God for could fall from grace and go into a world unlike heaven of time and space and make up a body and make up an identity and then get all caught up and mesmerized and hypnotized by these thoughts and images so the ego basically peoples a world makes a world of separation of linear time persons places things situation circumstances and then it will try to use these projections to keep the mind from forgiving at all from seeing wait a minute this is all temporary and I am an eternal being with an eternal Creator and so even if the ego people the world with these images to dissuade me from my home in heaven I don't have to really buy into any of the witnesses of the ego and that means the witnesses of the five senses I can turn within to Jesus turn within to the Holy Spirit go deep into that love inside and then when I look upon the world it's a world of reflection of light and love that's what the forgiven world or the happy dream is so here we go we're we're really learning about that word will I will there be light means I need to put my my full desire on wanting that there be light because there is light it's like I will to know I will to experience the light I the wishes and grievances are partners for co-makers in picturing the world you see the wishes of the ego gave rise to it and the egos need for grievances which are necessary to maintain it peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and call for righteous judgment these figures become the middlemen the ego employs to traffic in grievances they stand between your awareness and your brother's reality beholding them you do not know your brothers or your Christ self so it's beautiful to see that that there's ego wishes you might say you have an altar in the mind and when the ego is put on the altar then then there's ego wishes there and then out of those ego wishes arises a whole cosmos of time and space and and is peopled with with worlds and people with people and things and all kinds of temporary images but these images are just made out of hatred because the purposes for grievances and it says the wishes of the ego gave rise to it the distorted world and the egos need for grievances which are necessary to maintain it peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and call for righteous judgment so if you are witnessing an accusation from anything or anyone it could be anything or anyone in the whole cosmos but if if you're witnessing an accusation it's because you believe that there is an attack that that belief in separation from God or ego is real and then the symbols of the witnesses are just projections or the ego people that with figures that seem to attack you and call for righteous judgment but actually these figures aren't real and when you come in with the Holy Spirit in Jesus you do see that that the world lights up and the happy dream the forgiven world is is there it's been there all along Holy Spirit made the real world the world of non-judgment we can call it to be a reflection of of the light and that is our inheritance so he's he's saying these figures become the middleman the ego employees to traffic and grievances so if you put faith in the flesh then you're going to perceive grievances if you believe in the reality of the bodies then you're going to believe that sin is real because sin as we learn from a course of miracles sin is just an error to be corrected and then Jesus has told us in the course that the Holy Spirit corrected the error the instant the error arose it's not like there's a battle going on between good and evil the light is is all that there is darkness disappears in the presence of light or as the Bible says perfect love cast out fear but if there's any harboring of any scraps of the ego belief system or these wishes then the witnesses seem to be acting out the wish to be separate from God and that is why we need discernment he says they stand between your awareness and your brother's reality our awareness is what our consciousness is beholding our brother's reality is spirit it's the Christ and if we behold these dream figures as real and we take these pointy fingers of accusations as real then he's saying beholding them you do not know your brothers or your Christ self so it comes down to it's between you and God in the sense that if you accept God's will exactly as it is for perfect happiness if you expect that truly spirit is is all that there can be and you accept it then that's the end of the struggle but let's look at this lesson because Jesus is giving us a lesson in in not engaging and not bartering with these dream figures or with the wishes that are underneath the dream figures he's like saying stand in the light stand in the vertical stay with your connection with your Creator stay with the Holy Spirit stay with Jesus so this is here we go your will is lost to you in this strange bartering in which guilt is traded back and forth and grievances increase with each exchange can such a world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with his father did God create disaster for his son creation is the will of both together father and son creator and creation would God create a world that kills himself divine logic I'll read that last one again would God create a world that kills himself today we will try once more to reach that world that is in accordance with your will the light is in it because it does not oppose the will of God it is not heaven but the light of heaven shines on it darkness has vanished the egos idol wishes have been withdrawn yet the light that shines upon this world reflects your will and so it must be in you that we will look for it your picture of the world can only mirror what is within the source of neither light nor darkness can be found without grievances darken your mind and you look out on a darkened world forgiveness lifts the darkness reasserts your will and lets you look upon a world of light we have repeatedly emphasized that the barrier of grievances is easily past and cannot stand between you and your salvation the reason is very simple do you really want to be in hell do you really want to weep and suffer and die okay those are those are good questions let's do questions for right here and now do you really want to be in hell do you really want to weep and suffer and die what do I want because that's going to determine everything do I want to see the light or do I want to see the darkness do you really want to be in hell do you really want to weep and suffer and die forget the ego's arguments which seek to prove all this is really heaven you know it is not so you cannot want this for yourself there is a point beyond which illusions cannot go suffering is not happiness and it is happiness you really want such is your will in truth and so salvation is your will as well you want to succeed in what we are trying to do today we undertake it with your blessing and your glad accord we will succeed today if you remember that you want salvation for yourself you want to accept God's plan because you share in it you have no will that can really oppose it and you do not want to do so salvation is for you above all else you want the freedom to remember who you really are today it is the ego that stands powerless before your will your will is free and nothing can prevail against it therefore we undertake the exercises for today in happy confidence certain that we will find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your will to remember no idol wishes can detain us nor deceive us within an illusion of strength today let your will be done and end forever the insane belief that it is hell in place of heaven that you choose we will begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for salvation and only his is holy in accord with your will it is not the purpose of an alien power thrust upon you unwillingly it is the one purpose here on which you and your father are in perfect accord you will succeed today the time appointed for the release of the son of God from hell and from all idol wishes his will is now restored to his awareness he is willing this very day to look upon the light in him and be saved after reminding yourself of this and determining to keep your will clearly in mind tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty I will there be light let me behold the light that reflects God's will and mine then let your will assert itself joined with the power of God and united with your Christ self put the rest of the practice period under their guidance join with them as they lead the way in the shorter practice periods again make a declaration of what you really want say I will there be light darkness is not my will this should be repeated several times an hour it is most important however to apply today's idea in this form immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of any kind this will help you let your grievance go instead of cherishing them and hiding them in darkness so if a grievance arises in your mind any grievance any ill thought any feeling of wrongness or badness or or injustice or unfairly treated or victimization any grievance that arises in the mind today here's the answer I will there be light darkness is not my will so what a beautiful lesson today I will there be light because it's coming to the realization that only the thoughts of God can be shared so if you're sharing the thoughts of God real thoughts of love peace happiness joy if you're sharing the thoughts of God then you strengthen them in awareness and you know all this my will this is God's will and this is my will perfect love peace joy happiness and if you attempt to share a grievance if you attempt to share a darkness a dark thought an accusation if you attempt to blame somebody point the finger if you if you attempt to share the belief that there's a mistreatment happening or an injustice happening if you attempt to share a dark will say a temporary let's call it a private thought the reason it's a private thought is because ultimately there are no private thoughts because only the thoughts of God can be shared and when you share the thoughts of God you're happy and when you try to share the private thoughts then you try to share an illusion what Jesus tells us is that you can't share illusions because the ego is an unreal thought it's an unreal belief and it can't be shared you can perceive a world in which there seems to be all kinds of ego attacks and attack thoughts being pictured but ultimately metaphysically you can't share an attack thought and that is learned when you finally open up to we'll say less than 23 I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts I can escape from the distorted dark perceptual distortions by giving up attack thoughts I can forgive and I'll see the whole world differently if I attempt to share illusions I'm attempting the sharing of nothing and that's what we call gossip in this world gossip is the attempt to share nothing and to make it real and Jesus is like it's not real God didn't create it it won't ever be real and you bring the illusion of suffering to your mind when you attempt to hold a grievance and to share it when you attempt to publish it to the world when you attempt to to put it out there you're really just throwing a kaboom ring and you're going and it's going because attack is always an attack on the self in the mind it's just a belief that you can attack yourself by believing in separation from God and then anything that you picture in this world that's based on attack grievances injustice anything like that that just perpetuates a veil it covers over the light but today new direction for us I will there be light I will to know my will and God's will are the same that we are one we are one in heaven we are one forever forever and ever and ever and nothing can ever change that deep lesson today deep lesson so I prayed a little bit on what texts we could use here to support our lesson I will there be light and I found a section in chapter 18 and a section in chapter 29 so let's jump back here to chapter 18 the passing of the dream and let's jump down to section 9 the two worlds you have been told to bring the darkness to the light and guilt to holiness you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source therefore it is the tiny part of yourself the little thought that seems split off and separate the Holy Spirit needs the rest is fully in God's keeping and needs no guide yet this wild and delusional thought needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son of God whole and omnipotent soul ruler of the kingdom it set apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery this is an ego belief that thinks it's the Son of God thinks it's a body it forgot that it's a spirit it had an amnesia about heaven and about eternal oneness and now it thinks it's the Son of God this tiny mad idea this belief in the ego thinks it's the Son of God and it thinks it's important and it thinks it's whole and omnipotent and soul ruler of the kingdom it set apart letting your time and space to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery this is the little part you think you stole from heaven give it back to heaven heaven has not lost it but you have lost sight of heaven let the Holy Spirit remove it from the withered kingdom in which you set it off surrounded by darkness guarded by attack and reinforced by hate within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God complete and holy serene and unaware of what you think surrounds it be you not separate for the one who does surround it has brought union to you returning your little offering of darkness to the eternal light how is this done it is extremely simple being based on what this little kingdom really is the barren sands the darkness and the lifeless are seen only through the body's eyes its bleak sight is distorted and the messages it transmit to you who made it to limit your awareness are little and limited and so fragmented they are meaningless from the world of bodies made by insanity insane messages seem to be returning to the mind that made it and these messages bear witness to this world pronouncing it is true for you sent forth these messengers to bring this back to you everything these messages relate to you is quite external there are no messages that speak of what lies underneath for it is not the body that could speak of this its eyes perceive it not its senses remain quite unaware of it its tongue cannot relay its messages yet God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit through seeming terror trusting him not to abandon you and leave you there for it is not his purpose to frighten you but only yours you are severely tempted to abandon him at the outside ring of fear but he would lead you safely through and far beyond the circle of fear lies just below the level the body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is based here are all the illusions all the twisted thoughts all the insane attacks the fury the vengeance and betrayal that were made to keep the guilt in place so that the world could rise from it and keep it hidden its shadow rises to the surface enough to hold its most external manifestation manifestations in darkness and to bring despair and loneliness to it and keep it joyless yet its intensity is veiled by its heavy coverings and kept apart from what was made to keep it hidden the body cannot see this for the body arose from this for its protection which depends on keeping it not seen the body's eyes will never look on it yet they will see what it dictates the body will remain guilt's messenger and it will act as it directs as long as you believe that guilt is real there's the key as long as there's a belief as long as there's any belief an unconscious believes that guilt is real you're going to see the witnesses for the belief that guilt is real and when you forgive you free your mind of the belief in witnesses and you're no longer affected by any witnesses of the world for the reality of guilt is the illusion that seems to make it heavy and opaque impenetrable and a real foundation for the ego's thought system its thinness and transparency are not apparent until you see the light behind it and then you see it as a fragile veil before the light this heavy seeming barrier this artificial floor that looks like rock is like a bank of low dark clouds that seem to be a solid wall before the sun its impenetrable appearance is wholly an illusion it gives way softly to the mountaintops that rise above it and it has no power at all to hold back anyone willing to climb above it and see the sun it is not strong enough to stop a button's fall nor hold a feather well it's fog nothing can rest upon it for it is but an illusion of a foundation try but to touch it and it disappears attempt to grasp it and your hands hold nothing yet in this cloud bank it is easy to see a whole world rising a solid mountain range a lake a city all rise in your imagination and from the clouds the messengers of your perception return to you assuring you that it is there figures stand out and move about actions seem real informs appear and shift from loveliness to the grotesque and back and forth they go as long as you would play the game of children's make believe yet however long you play it and regardless of how much imagination you bring to it you do not confuse it with the world below nor seek to make it real so should it be with the dark clouds of guilt no more impenetrable and no more substantial you will not bruise yourself against them in traveling through let your guide teach you their unsubstantial nature as he leads you past them for beneath them is a world of light where we're on they cast no shadows their shadows lie upon the world beyond them still further from the light yet from them to the light their shadows cannot fall this world of light this circle of brightness is the real world where guilt meets with forgiveness here the world outside has seen anew without the shadow of guilt upon it here are you forgiven for here you have forgiven everyone here is the new perception where everything is bright and shining with innocence washed in the waters of forgiveness and cleansed of every evil thought you laid upon it here there is no attack upon the son of god and you are welcome here is your innocence waiting to clothe you and protect you and make you ready for the final step in the journey inward here are the dark and heavy garments of guilt laid by and gently replaced by purity and love whoa okay that is taking us to a world of light the real world so here's our next passage this one is from chapter 29 section 5 the changeless dwelling place there is a place in you where the this whole world has been forgotten where no memory of sin and of illusion lingers still there is a place in you which time has left and echoes of eternity are heard there is a resting place so still no sound except to him to heaven rises up to gladden god the father and the son where both abide they are remembered both and where they are is heaven and is peace where both abide they are remembered god and the father god the son there we go that's heaven think not that you can change their dwelling place for your identity abides in them and where they are forever must you be the changelessness of heaven is in you so deep within that nothing in this world but passes by unnoticed and unseen good sense let's read that one again the changelessness of heaven is in you so deep within that nothing in this world but passes by unnoticed and unseen the still infinity of endless peace surrounds you gently in its soft embrace so strong and quiet tranquil in the might of its creator nothing can intrude upon the sacred son of god within here is the role the holy spirit gives to you who wait upon the son of god and would behold him awaken and be glad he is part of you and you have him because he is in his father's son and not for any purpose you may see in him nothing is asked of you but to accept the changeless and eternal that abide in him for your identity is there the peace in you can but be found in him and every thought of love you offer him but brings you nearer to your awakening to peace eternal and to endless joy so wow this lesson and these support passages from the text are really bringing it home really really really bringing it home that that that there is no world as we're told in lesson 132 and there is no world apart from what you think and so that means that it's a perceptual hallucination and what seems to be the experience of the human being is a private world that just is emanating and drawing forth grievances and that's the purpose the ego made the world for the purpose of drawing forth grievances the world has no other purpose Jesus says the world was made in hatred okay there it is it's made in hatred for the purpose of accumulating grievances and Jesus says he told us in the lesson that this bartering back and forth in exchange of grievances makes the grievances seem to grow stronger and there's no happiness there's no peace there's no rest when this strange bartering is going on so what we're seeing is this is why it's so important to really really practice these lessons to have the experience not the concept of spirituality not the the self concept of spirituality but the actual experience of joy that comes from seeing there is no world apart from what you think and if that's true if there is no world apart from what you think and you think the thoughts of the Holy Spirit and Jesus which is forgiveness then you see a forgiven world you have to there's no other way that's how the mind works if you pluck all the enemies and all the offenses and all the grievances from your mind you know Jesus is in the song of prayer I think they ask him about what about prayers for enemies and he says you know if you if you perceive that you have enemies you have great need of forgiveness and he's saying pluck the offense from your mind pluck the ego attack thought pluck the grievance from your mind with the Holy Spirit's help Jesus Holy Spirit I'm gonna pluck and quickly give it to you and it's gone because in truth attack is never real attack is never real injustice is never real mistreatment is never real a world of falsity cannot be believed in you know basically Jesus was saying would God create a world in which he could kill himself that's a great question from Jesus in the in the lesson today that's that's the question that Jesus asks would God create a world in which he could kill himself I think not I think the God of love would not have any business creating a world where he could kill himself that would be insanity and God's not insane God is love joy happiness so we start to realize that whenever there's a perception of grievance it's an individual private thought private world perception and it can not be shared you can attempt to share it but it doesn't go well when you try to share it it kind of blows up in your face when you attempt to share a false thought if you try to share a grievance or a dark thought or a thought that God didn't create you perceive the attack thought because the attack thought would just be holding on to a grievance in the mind and then you perceive witnesses sometimes you'll perceive lots of witnesses if you really are holding tight to the grievance to the false belief in ego and wishes of the ego the idle thoughts of the ego on the altar of your mind if you hold on to that you may see legion lots lots and lots of false witnesses but but they aren't true because the sharing of grievances is the sharing of nothing gossip Jesus says well it's not real and and you're not subject to it you're not vulnerable to it you are the Christ and the Christ never made a mistake the Christ is spirit and that identification with that Christ that's where the salvation is that's that's the happiness the salvation of the world comes from me and means that when you accept the Christ in your mind as being real and true then the whole world is saved and and the whole world is healed Jesus says legions upon legions will arise and accept the gift of healing when your mind when the mind accepts the gift of healing so wow we've got a big group today 250 people are on live and we are rejoicing in the love of God today we are in absolute joy and ecstasy and being lined up with our Creator so i wish you happy holy day i wish you innocence i wish you freedom i wish you peace and love and joy and i wish you all of that in the daily lesson today i will there be light amen all glory to
