Little did she know, that her mind would go through a massive transformation and that 12 months later she would have a revelation experience and then a further 12 months later, an awakening to this Perfect Love - An amazing experience of being ONE with everything. Nothing outside it. Empty of self. Experiencing the present moment as all that is. And fully in love with all that is. Everything joined. Everything as LOVE. A mind being incredibly QUIET.

And in that instant, all the teachings illuminated as KNOWN.

 These sharings are amazingly touching. The session goes for nearly 2.5 hours but it is worth listening to the whole recording, as the sharings are amazing all through the session. Shannon and I are deeply grateful for everyone in the live group who participated in the last 10 weeks and also for the many who sent messages to us that this playlist has really helped them shift their awareness to a deeper connection with God.

The giant stride lessons are
W61 I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
W66 MY HAPPINESS AND MY FUNCTION ARE ONE
W94 I AM AS GOD CREATED ME
W127 THERE IS NO LOVE BUT GOD'S (GREATEST GIANT STRIDE LESSON)
W130 IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE TWO WORLDS
W135 IF I DEFEND MYSELF I AM ATTACKED
W194 I PLACE THE FUTURE IN THE HANDS OF GOD

The large step lessons are: W108 TO GIVE AND RECEIVE ARE ONE IN TRUTH
W110 I AM AS GOD CREATED ME
W193 ALL THINGS ARE LESSONS GOD WOULD HAVE ME LEARN

This week Shannon and Cate read through Workbook lesson 193 of A Course in Miracles slowly and diligently, so that our mind rests in the understanding of what Jesus wants us to "do" in our mind, as he shines away the obstacles to peace. "All things are lessons God would have me learn".

"God wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. That is His Will." W193,1

"Forgive and you will see this differently"
"I will forgive and this will disappear"

 These two lines are the lesson God would have us learn. God wants us to learn the lesson that when we forgive, we will see it differently and it will disappear. That is the lesson he wants us to verify and know, as an experience.

Cate leads the meditation this week... leading everyone through a practice of forgiveness and noticing, that the fear, guilt or belief in sin, disappears. THIS WILL DISAPPEAR! Thats what we want to remember. When we forgive, the upset will disappear. Therefore God would have us learn that everything is a lesson.... to learn that it is to apply forgiveness to and notice that it disappears!!.

Cate and Shannon give examples of what being the light of the world looks like. At the end, Shannon leads the group into a meditation making space in our minds for the acceptance of our only function. Cate finishes the meditation by asking the group to think about the ways they make themselves little due to fear and then instead imagine themselves the light of the world.

In this fantastic lesson, we can simply decide to be happy and allow those feelings of happiness to arise in us, every hour for 5 minutes and think about that this is all Jesus wants us to do. He just wants us to show everyone our happy face.

"You bring HIs happiness to all you look upon; His peace to everyone who looks on you and sees His message in your HAPPY FACE!" W100,6

After the meditation, Cate leads the group through the Christ blessing. This week, we do it silently by picturing the face of family members, friends, colleagues etc - anyone who the ego thoughts say "should change" or "treated you unfairly" or "can never be forgiven as they are too sinful". We remind ourselves that guilt never leaves our mind, and if we continue to think that we can hurl guilt out, we are wrong. We experience all the effects of thoughts of guilt, no matter whether they are about us or "other". Both are completely false and need not be entertained by simply noticing them and plucking them out of our mind. They are toxic. By seeing with the Spiritual Eye, we see innocence instead of guilt. Of course the eyes dont see guilt or innocence, so it is simply thoughts of guilt or innocence that we experience - thinking that the image is guilty. Hopefully you laugh at this! The Christ blessing is like a beautiful big broom that cleans the lies of the ego, out from the mind and leave it pristine in purity. If you are watching the video, please try to follow along with the instructions and apply the Christ Blessing to anyone the Holy Spirit brings into your mind. He knows! And then, to my surprise at the end of the blessings, I am guided to ask everyone to see if they can allow the feelings of happiness to arise again, like we did in the first meditation. This was to allow us to see that some of the guilt has cleared and it is easier for us to contact the feeling of pure happiness.

All that is asked of us, is be willing. That is our part. To be willing to see Sinlessness in our brothers, instead of guilt and sin. When we are willing, we are more interested in doing this and then, there comes a time, in time, when the mind is cleaned up of all thoughts of guilt and the Sun just comes shining through and the mind is joined back to the infinite Sun - A Oneness joined as One. One Sun - no little sunbeam. Just pure Sun Light everywhere.

The curriculum is highly individualized and all aspects are under the HOLY SPIRIT's particular CARE AND GUIDANCE.

ASK AND HE WILL ANSWER.

The responsibility is HIS, and He alone is fit to assume it. To do so IS HIS FUNCTION! To refer the questions to HIM, is your function. Would you want to be responsible for decisions about which you understand so little? BE GLAD YOU HAVE A TEACHER WHO CANNOT MAKE A MISTAKE. HIS ANSWERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!!! Would you say that of yours???

The curriculum is highly individualized and all aspects are under the HOLY SPIRIT's particular CARE AND GUIDANCE.

ASK AND HE WILL ANSWER.

The responsibility is HIS, and He alone is fit to assume it. To do so IS HIS FUNCTION! To refer the questions to HIM, is your function. Would you want to be responsible for decisions about which you understand so little? BE GLAD YOU HAVE A TEACHER WHO CANNOT MAKE A MISTAKE. HIS ANSWERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!!! Would you say that of yours???

We start with extending love to each other in silence as we do each week.
Cate and Shannon read through Lesson 105, God’s peace and joy are mine, discussing how we already have God’s peace and joy and we allow it into our awareness as we free our brothers with a blessing, offering God’s gifts to him. As we give, we receive.
After reading paragraph 3, we pause for a few minutes to accept God’s peace and joy. “Accept God’s peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God’s gifts will never lessen when they are given away. They but increase thereby.”
We then pause again with paragraph 7 to practice this: “Think of your “enemies” a little while, and tell each one, as he occurs to you: “My brother, peace and joy I offer you, That I may have God’s peace and joy as mine.”
The longer meditation at the end at 1:01:45 is based on Lesson 108, To give and to receive are one in truth, blessing everyone with this:
To everyone I offer quietness. To everyone I offer peace of mind. To everyone I offer gentleness.

There are numerous five minute meditations throughout where the group contemplates what he is saying in this section. They are:

1. “You have probably reacted for years as if you were being crucified.” (paragraph 3) Be honest with ourselves about how we reacted as if we were being crucified, attacked, unfairly treated.
2. Paragraph 4 ~ Destruction is impossible, because anything that is destructible is unreal. God didn’t make anything other than perfect love.
3. “…our fundamental equality can be demonstrated only through joint decision.” (paragraph 5) Think about how Jesus never saw himself as persecuted. He didn’t see himself as attacked. He never shared in the evaluation of himself. How he didn’t identify himself as a body.
4. Contemplate ‘as you teach, so shall you learn’. Think about what Jesus did when he was seemingly attacked and how he’s asking us to do this with him.

Cate recommends reading this entire section, keeping in mind the discussion during satsang.
The final meditation is joining with Jesus and asking him whatever is on our heart. Meditation starts at 1:09:30

Cate & Shannon read through Lesson 91, Miracles are Seen in Light.
Light=Holy Spirit, Jesus, God
Darkness=Ego thought system

There are two meditation periods in this Satsang. The first focuses on:
Miracles are seen in light.
The body’s eyes do not perceive the light.
But I am not a body. What am I?
(Opening our mind for the Holy Spirit to tell us)

The second focuses on:
I am not weak, but strong.
I am not helpless, but all powerful.
I am not limited, but unlimited.
I am not doubtful, but certain.
I am not an illusion, but a reality.
I cannot see in darkness, but in light.
We can deny the temptation to see ourselves as weak, helpless, limited, doubtful, an illusion and in darkness. These are just little untrue ideas and as we see them coming into mind, we can dismiss them for what they are. Unreal. We can feel the desire in our heart to know what we are in truth and to become aware of ourselves as strong, powerful, unlimited, certain, a reality and in light. This is how we are as God created us. This is our truth. Our inheritance.

We end in a feeling of gratitude for God with all of our being.

I have been unwilling to recognize that this quest is one of joy. Instead of reacting with anguish at times, and a feeling of frustration and futility, I will to see myself only as I truly am. Nothing else can matter but this. The Kingdom is entirely filled with peace and joy, and I am an essential part of it. Therefore, I must be unwilling to recognize what is already obvious, even in my conflicted state. I will only for God and His Kingdom. This is the only message that is meaningful, because it is my reality. All else is illusion. I will be helped as I offer help to others. I will know myself as I recognize my only true relationship with all my brothers.

Shannon then reads the prayer in lesson 262, Let me perceive no differences today.

The Christ Blessing is done with anyone who raised their hand. As we join with Jesus/Holy Spirit and say these words to our brother, we see our brother as the holy Son of God he is and in turn, recognize our holiness. The awareness of our holiness illuminates our mind as we allow the content the words are pointing to arise in our mind.

Jesus tells us that we can leave no brother out of this holiness so we release all grievances and ask to be shown the holiness in all. The sameness in all. To see All the same. God cannot have imperfections and neither can we because we were created by Him as perfect holy love. As we join in this message, we are given the experience of this truth and then we understand His Kingdom.

The meditation is based on Lesson 124, “Let me remember I am one with God.” Paragraphs 1 and 8 are read before the half hour of silence. The focus is on remembering our oneness with God, trusting His Voice to speak to us as He sees fit.

To have all God's Love, Peace and Joy, Give all God's Love Peace and Joy to all.

There is a 40 minute experiential meditation at the end of the Satsang, where Cate takes everyone very gently and slowly through the application of the practice of the Holy Spirit's first lesson. You can do this meditation on its own, if you would like to start there, but I do recommend you read the text of this section before hand or listen to the reading of the text in the video.

The Holy Spirit's first lesson is clearly given to us in Chapter 6, V, paragraph 4, Line 7....

"Only ONE EQUAL GIFT can be offered to the EQUAL SONS OF GOD, and that is FULL APPRECIATION. Nothing more and nothing less. Without a range, order of difficulty is meaningless, and THERE MUST BE NO RANGE in what you offer to your brother."

So, we are asked to ONE EQUAL GIFT which is to offer full appreciation to EVERY SON OF GOD, without a range, without selecting ones we want to offer full appreciation to and excluding ones we don't want to give full appreciation to.

If we want peace, we must surrender to "not knowing" how to come to be peaceful and have the little willingness to practice this first lesson of the Holy Spirit. We have to let go of trying to understand how this lesson will bring us to peace. Remember, Jesus says, just "do only this" ..... so our job is to "do only the offering of full appreciation to every brother", and see how we feel. Its very simple. Do the exercise as he asks us to do it and validate for ourselves, if we feel any different from before we did the exercise.

In this validation, we can come to see that, our willingness to let go of the past and offer all our brothers, equally, full appreciation, we realise that we get filled up with the love and peace that we so desire.

If we step back and resign as our own teacher and follow these lessons of the Holy Spirit, we come closer to having the peace of God and thus, healing. This way, we naturally offer God's effortless pure love to all and our brother's mind receives the miracle of God's Love from us.

Cate then shares some of the details about her awakening and how she didn’t even remember how to turn her computer on at work at first, but was eventually able to step back into the world to do things.
She then reminds everyone about checking in with the Course and what Jesus says if teachers are saying things that you’re not sure of. The Course always contains the truth and can be a guiding light during these times.

Cate and Shannon read through Lesson 133, I will not value what is valueless, bringing in practical examples. This lesson is asking us to really look at what we’re valuing and let it go. He gives us many pointers here to help us discern what is valuable. He tells us, “First, if you choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is valueless.” He goes on to explain, “A temporary value is without all value.” This brings us into a clear understanding in our sorting out of what is valuable and valueless in the development of trust.

“Each choice you make brings everything to you or nothing.”

We ask Holy Spirit/Jesus for the lesson and ask to be shown what we are valuing that is valueless and to see what is underneath of it, the meaning we have placed on what we are valuing. He knows what we are ready to see. He knows what we are ready to let go of. We can trust that.

A few minutes are given to explore the questions in paragraph 8 and this leads into meditation.

It is in the experience of giving and receiving as one, the experience of giving peace of mind and receiving it in that same instant, that really firms up this truth in our mind. In paragraph 6, Jesus says, “To learn that giving and receiving are the same has special usefulness, because it can be tried so easily and seen as true.” The 40 minute meditation is focused on allowing this experience and Cate guides the first part of the meditation period and also the last five minutes.

Cate has the group take a couple of minutes to search their mind for where they are still looking to the world to be sustained, to be happy.

Cate begins this Satsang with a beautiful talk on forgiveness and applying it regularly throughout each day.

Forgiveness Practices covered in this Satsang:
(1) Seeing the unreality of the world
(2) DU true forgiveness thought process (page 256 of DU)
(3) Defenselessness

Cate brings in a reading from Disappearance of the Universe on page 291 and takes everyone through a visualization of the world as a virtual reality game. She then reads this forgiveness thought process from DU:
“You’re not really there. If I think you are guilty or the cause of the problem, and if I made you up, then the imagined guilt and fear must be in me. Since the separation from God never occurred, I forgive “both” of us for what we haven’t really done. Now there is only innocence, and I join with the Holy Spirit in peace.”

Shannon then brings in a forgiveness practice for defenselessness, “Lay down your arms”. She reads from lesson 270 and takes everyone through an exercise.

She then reads Chapter 12, Section VIII, ‘The Attraction of Love for Love’ and then from lesson 190 and reminds everyone that what we’re really defending against is God. She takes everyone through an exercise to let go of all defenses against God.

The “I must have decided wrongly” prayer (T-5, VII, 6)
Two from Manual for Teachers, #16, How Should the Teacher of God Spend His Day?
Paragraph 2: Join with God morning and night
Paragraph 6: “There is one thought in particular that should be remembered throughout the day. It is a thought of pure joy; a thought of peace, a thought of limitless please, limitless because all things are freed within it.”
Introduction to Review VI, paragraph 6: “When you are tempted, hasten to proclaim your freedom from temptation, as you say, “This thought I do not want. I choose instead ______.” And then repeat the idea for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought. (All lessons are forgiveness practices)

Cate then reads Helen Schucman’s poem ‘Before We Ask’ from her book The Gifts of God.

Cate and Shannon then read through the remaining part, paragraphs 10 through 16, of The Dreamer of the Dream, section VII of The Healing of the Dream.

There are two dreams mentioned in this section. One is the world we see, our brother’s mistakes and the hurts he gave. The other is the secret dream, where we become the destroyer of our brother and the world. Cate explains that an easy way to understand this is to see that the dreams are thoughts. We then see the thoughts we are having and practice forgiveness with them to see our brother’s, and our own, innocence.

Cate explains that we have no awareness of the unconscious guilt of separating from God until the end of our journey. So we practice forgiveness with whatever we are experiencing to clear our mind. The Holy Spirit undoes the guilt thoughts we are having in any moment. This is our forgiveness work.

“Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in holy innocence.” (paragraph 15)

At 35:00, Cate takes everyone through a meditation on this section. ‘I will dream softly of my sinless brother, who unites with me in holy innocence.’

There are two dreams mentioned in this section. One is the world we see, our brother’s mistakes and the hurts he gave. The other is the secret dream, where we become the destroyer of our brother and the world. Cate explains that an easy way to understand this is to see that the dreams are thoughts. We then see the thoughts we are having and practice forgiveness with them to see our brother’s, and our own, innocence.

Cate explains that we have no awareness of the unconscious guilt of separating from God until the end of our journey. So we practice forgiveness with whatever we are experiencing to clear our mind. The Holy Spirit undoes the guilt thoughts we are having in any moment. This is our forgiveness work.

“Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in holy innocence.” (paragraph 15)

At 35:00, Cate takes everyone through a meditation on this section. ‘I will dream softly of my sinless brother, who unites with me in holy innocence.’

At 43:00, Cate then leads a meditation based on lesson 78 Let miracles replace all grievances, focusing on the holiness of our brother.

Blessings!

The group starts with joining in a prayer of willingness. Cate shares her prayer and gives a talk on forgiveness and resigning as our own teacher. We invite Holy Spirit in and be open to Him.

Cate then reads Helen Schucman’s poem ‘Our Common Goal’.

Cate and Shannon read through the first 9 paragraphs of section VII, The Dreamer of the Dream, of Chapter 27, The Healing of the Dream, expanding upon the reading where guided.

Cate takes everyone through paragraph 1 very slowly, explaining what Jesus is telling us in it. She asks the group to focus on the first sentence, “Suffering is an emphasis upon all that the world has done to injure you.” She asks the group to reflect on all the things they believe the world has done to injure them.

As we see what we believe the world has done to injure us, we realize we are looking for something in the world to change so that we can be ok. This is how the world’s version of salvation works.

After the reading, Shannon leads a meditation based on lesson 69, ‘My grievances hide the light of the world in me’.

The group ends with expressing a blessing of gratitude to each other.

Cate then shares a beautiful surrender prayer for everyone to join in.
“Jesus. I am here. I am ready. I am willing. That’s all I need be. Here I am.”

Cate reads from “The Fourth Obstacle: The Fear of God”, paragraphs 6 and 7, explaining that how letting go of this world is letting go of all ideas of sin and guilt.

She continues by reading some of “The Lifting of the Veil”, continuing to emphasize the importance of looking on our brother in innocence.

“Brother, you need forgiveness of your brother, for you will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you and he will raise your eyes in faith together, or not at all.” (T-19, IV, D, i, 12)

Cate then explains how in ‘Rules for Decision’ he has us state that we have no question and how it ties in so beautifully with ‘The Quiet Answer’ section we will be reading.

Cate and Shannon read through Chapter 27, Section IV, ‘The Quiet Answer’. Whenever we try to resolve any problems by ourselves, we are resolving it with the ego mind and will never get the answer. It will never work. We have to reach another state of mind for the true answer to come in. In the holy instant.

Cate gives examples of the one question the world asks, “Of these illusions, which of them is true.” And reminds us that the ego can only make statements to try to get something. It is always a statement that 'I am a body’ that needs something and is the belief in sin and unworthiness. “A pseudo-question has no answer. It dictates the answer even as it asks.” This is the ego’s ‘seek and do not find’. It rehashes the past. Something needs to change for me to be happy.

To hear the answer, we come empty into the holy instant with “I do not know” and there the answer is.

Cate and Shannon read through Chapter 27, Section II, ‘The Fear of Healing’, paragraphs 13-16. Cate asks the group to reflect on how we think our brother is sinful. How we judge him and the egoic thoughts that come with this judgment. Then look at how we see ours as little mistakes that should be overlooked. The ego tells us not to look at “our guilt”, but keep it focused outward on “them”.

We are being asked to never correct our brother. Every problem can be solved by trust. We are being asked to love. To ask for guidance for what we see, how we see it, what we say and how we say it.

We follow guidance, forgive and love. We are here only to be truly helpful.

They then read through Section III, ‘Beyond all Symbols’. There is only infinite Love and nothing else. Cate explains that we go up a ladder to get to the place where we realize there is no ladder. There is only God’s Love. She invites us to get comfortable with paradoxes.

Cate was guided to focus the meditation on Workbook lesson 137, ‘When I am healed I am not healed alone’, which ties in beautifully with the message of the sections read. Cate & Shannon read through this lesson and then Cate takes everyone through a gorgeous meditation starting at 1:20:34.

We have to go from the belief in the body, back to the mind. The body doesn’t have the autonomy to get sick. All sickness is a ploy to point the finger at our brother. Jesus wants us to know what we are doing so we stop doing it. He’s asking us to choose to see our brother’s innocence.

She then reads a poem called “The Daily Bread” by Helen Schucman from her book called The Gifts of God.

Cate and Shannon read through Chapter 27, Section II, ‘The Fear of Healing’, paragraphs 1-12.
Some key lines from this section:
“Yet no one can forgive a sin that he believes is real.”
“The sick remain accusers. They cannot forgive their brothers and themselves as well.”
“Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your brother and yourself.”
“Your body can be means to teach that it has never suffered pain because of him.”
“Brother, there is no death.”
“This is the law the miracle obeys; that healing sees no specialness at all.”

Cate shares about forgiveness with her dad. She relates it to this section in such a powerful way.

Cate shares that on her journey, she was really going within for a long period of time. It was an inward journey…taking responsibility for the judgments, fears, guilt, etc. Sitting in quietness and bringing them into a joining of the inner Guide.

She tells us that our job is to keep our mind purified.

She was guided by Jesus to invite the group to go past the fear of God and the fear of death together over the next few weeks and offers this prayer for everyone in the group to join in:

~ Holy Spirit, for the next few weeks, we’re going to cross the gap in this group. We’re going to let go of the fear of death and the fear of God. I am ready to do this. I don’t know how this is going to happen and I don’t need to know. All I need to do is say yes and I’m ready. ~

She reminds everyone that we have to be honest with ourselves that we have a fear of God. A fear of the Love that we are. Fear of losing the body identity. Cate asks the group to bring the fearful story into awareness and release it. To let go of the story.

She then reads from the Text, The Lifting of the Veil, paragraphs 8-11, explaining that we have to enter the fear and go through it. We have to turn around and face it. And also that we can’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven having a grievance or hatred toward one brother here. It’s 100% or nothing.

*Please note: Part 9 was hosted by a guest speaker and this video is not available.*

Here is a summary of what Cate shares:

As an ego, we identify as a body. We look around outside of ourselves and say ‘bodies die so I must die’. We are fearful of death, but Jesus says we’re attracted to it. There is a part of our mind that says ‘let’s just die and get out of here’. We see death as an escape from suffering.

She asks us to let all of these thoughts arise in our awareness and look at them with Jesus/Holy Spirit. Say, “I’m fearing death, but I’m also at times really attracted to it because it feels like there is a way out”.

Jesus also talks about death as depression, anxiety, sadness because we are the beautiful Love of God. When we identify with the ego thought system as a body and believe we can experience sadness, he calls it death.

Spirit never dies. It is a changeless dwelling place. It is our true Identity and we want to step into this to recognize there is no death. It will change how we use the body. In the end, we start to use the body for God’s purpose. This is something we have to come to ourselves through going inward.

Death is the opposite of Life. Life is happiness, peace and joy. Life is living in Him. God, being Love, is also happiness. The ego’s definition of death is when the heart stops beating. Jesus says death is when we’re not living in joy.

We don’t have any of our own thoughts. We have ego thoughts or Holy Spirit thoughts. The ego thoughts are dead thoughts. It tells us we’re guilty. It will use anything to prove our guilt. It’s an excuse to hide from our true Self. We can decide right now we’re done with the past and allow the correction. As we let go of guilt, the peace and love comes in.

Our job is not to correct our brother. Our job is to be the light. We cannot hold onto the experience of Divine Love and have a judgment against a brother. The veil will come down. We have to be vigilant against the ego.

The ego thought system will always give solutions and then oppose them. Its aim is to confuse us. It always comes from guilt. We notice these thoughts and ask for correction. We empty ourselves out. We follow guidance on what to do. We ask Him first instead of engaging with the ego’s confusion.

Cate then shares from her journey, “When I was doing my work with the Holy Spirit, I was looking for others somewhere to be the Christ Self that I could look up to. The thought came to me: Why don’t I do it the best I can? Why don’t I try to be that? If not me, who? If not now, when?”

The meditation is at 49:40 where Cate leads the group through a beautiful joining with Jesus, asking him to show us how he sees us.

Gratitude, love & blessings!

Spirit never dies. It is a changeless dwelling place. It is our true Identity and we want to step into this to recognize there is no death. It will change how we use the body. In the end, we start to use the body for God’s purpose. This is something we have to come to ourselves through going inward.

Death is the opposite of Life. Life is happiness, peace and joy. Life is living in Him. God, being Love, is also happiness. The ego’s definition of death is when the heart stops beating. Jesus says death is when we’re not living in joy.

We don’t have any of our own thoughts. We have ego thoughts or Holy Spirit thoughts. The ego thoughts are dead thoughts. It tells us we’re guilty. It will use anything to prove our guilt. It’s an excuse to hide from our true Self. We can decide right now we’re done with the past and allow the correction. As we let go of guilt, the peace and love comes in.

Our job is not to correct our brother. Our job is to be the light. We cannot hold onto the experience of Divine Love and have a judgment against a brother. The veil will come down. We have to be vigilant against the ego.

The ego thought system will always give solutions and then oppose them. Its aim is to confuse us. It always comes from guilt. We notice these thoughts and ask for correction. We empty ourselves out. We follow guidance on what to do. We ask Him first instead of engaging with the ego’s confusion.

Cate then shares from her journey, “When I was doing my work with the Holy Spirit, I was looking for others somewhere to be the Christ Self that I could look up to. The thought came to me: Why don’t I do it the best I can? Why don’t I try to be that? If not me, who? If not now, when?”

The meditation is at 49:40 where Cate leads the group through a beautiful joining with Jesus, asking him to show us how he sees us.

Gratitude, love & blessings!

She continues with a review of the first 6 paragraphs of Chapter 27 (The Healing of the Dream), Section I (The Picture of the Crucifixion). “Behold me, brother, at your hand I die.” summarizes these paragraphs. We hold a picture of our crucified body in front of our brother. We want our brother to see what he has done. The pain and suffering he is causing with “my sick body” or “my sick mind”. Jesus wants us to look at this with him to have this idea of being “unfairly treated” healed. He brings the lesson in perfectly the way that we’ll understand. He meets us where we’re at. In the beliefs that we are holding about ourselves, and shows us another way.

Cate and Shannon read through the end of this section, paragraphs 7 through 11. We let go and allow the body be used by the Mind. We can transcend all pain and all suffering through this. We experience the dream very differently.

We let the body have healing as its purpose. The healed mind knows what to do and what to say. We are given whatever needs to be done and said when we stay open to the inner Guide leading us.

We show our brother that we are enveloped in God’s Love, free of the past and completely in present peace. This is done through quietness. The message to him now is, “Behold me, brother, at your hand I live.” The simple way to achieve this is to let go of all the purposes given to the body in the past.

Cate and Shannon then read through lesson 159, “I give the miracles I have received.” This lesson is read in preparation of the blessing shared by all who joined. When we give a blessing, we strengthen it in ourselves. Jesus tells us in this lesson, "To give is how to recognize you have received. It is the proof that what you have is yours.” As we give, we realize what we have. As we allow healing through us, we realize that we are healed. This is not how things work in the world, but they are the laws of Heaven. “Christ’s vision is the bridge between the worlds.”

What is not recorded is the blessing at the end of the Satsang. This blessing is from Lesson 108, “To give and receive are one in truth” and brings about a beautiful joining in peace, quietness and gentleness for giver and receiver, who are one. This is the blessing that was given from brother to brother:

To give and to receive are one in truth.
I will receive what I am giving now.

I offer quietness to you, “name”.
I offer peace of mind to you, “name”.
I offer gentleness to you, “name”.

To participate in a blessing such as this, to experience receiving while giving, is such a powerful way to recognize the truth of what we are.

Blessings and gratitude to everyone who joined!

Cate & Shannon read through the first part of ‘The Picture of Crucifixion’, the first section in Chapter 27, ‘The Healing of the Dream’ very slowly and pause frequently for the teachings to be contemplated.

Cate brings focus to the first sentence of this section, “The wish to be unfairly treated is a compromise attempt that would combine attack and innocence.” We wouldn’t think we wish to be unfairly treated, but Cate connects it to the attraction of guilt. We do wish for this. And we need to look at it to have it healed.

The only way we can be motivated to see things differently is if we really see how much we’re suffering. We have to come to see that the thoughts are saying we’re being unfairly treated, but nothing is really happening. We need to look at how we’re condemning our brother. We have to see what we’re doing.

Cate asks everyone to look at where we want to say “You did this to me. You’re guilty.” This is where we hold a picture of our crucifixion before our brother’s eyes. Cate shares about her journey and how she saw she was doing this and how she was guided to let it go.

Cate also asks everyone to really see where the idea “Behold me, brother, at your hand I die.” has come in the past. Search for the character to blame. Then she asks everyone to see if they can sink a little further down to see that it’s about God.

Cate takes everyone through a meditation at 1:00:10 starting with a prayer in the Text and brings in a forgiveness practice on the belief of being unfairly treated in Lesson 95.

She continues by reminding the group that freedom is in the mind. It has nothing to do with what the body does. Freedom cannot be found in the world.

She explains that Jesus wants us to sit and contemplate what he’s presenting in this section (The Second Obstacle - The Belief the Body is Valuable for What it Offers). What is the body for? What does it offer me? What am I valuing the body for? And what am I trying to get from it? Have I ever gotten what I’m trying to get? Opening our minds to really look at this will help to let go of attachments.

Cate then brings clarity to this quote in the Course, “It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not find pain.” (T-19, IV, B, i, 12). She gives so many helpful personal examples of how she let go of seeking for pleasure through the body by forgiving all of the ideas she had around food (pleasure from eating it and beliefs around what it would do for her body from a health perspective), a desirable job, in relationship to others, and many other examples.

At 1:24:10, she takes everyone through a meditation on paragraph 9 of Lesson 138, Heaven is the decision I must make.

Healing is through the Love and peace of God that is within us. We bring our brothers into our rest and peace.

Cate shares that when we follow guidance and get into that flow, there’s no trouble. We stay centered and demonstrate peace.

Cate then reads a poem from The Gifts of God by Helen Schucman, called ‘Healing’.

Then Cate & Shannon read through the last two sections of the Song of Prayer, ‘Separation versus Union’ and ‘The Holiness of Healing’.

The ‘false healing’ Jesus speaks of in the ‘Separation versus Union’ section encompasses looking for healing in the world from someone who ‘knows better’. True healing is in unity.

The last part of ‘The Holiness of Healing’ is directly from God. Cate reads parts of this as a meditation, opening the group up to the song of prayer, the beautiful song the Father shares with his holy Son.

The meditation is at 49:53.

Cate begins with “going through the eye of the needle”. She explains that nothing in your mind comes with you. On the other side of the needle is just infinite Love blessing and knowing itself.

She then reveals the topic of this Satsang…that we will be discussing sickness and death. She shares how Jesus took her through a complete healing of these ideas, using her experiences to point the way. She shares with such certainty that sickness is not in the body. It’s unforgiveness in the mind. If you can, look for the unforgiving thought. Join with Him and let Him heal it. He is available to all minds all the time.

Then Cate & Shannon read through the first 2 sections of ‘Healing’ in the Song of Prayer. Some good quotes from these sections are:
“…healing is a sign or symbol of forgiveness’ strength…”
“The body’s cause is unforgiveness of the Son of God.”
“The body can be healed as an effect of true forgiveness.”
“This is what death should be; a quiet choice, made joyfully and with a sense of peace, because the body has been kindly used to help the Son of God along the way he goes to God.”
Throughout this reading, Cate shares what worked for her to let go of the ideas of sickness and death. She reminds everyone we cannot do this alone. We have to let ourselves be shown that it is false.

Cate then reads through the last 3 paragraphs of section 27 of the Manual for Teachers, “What is Death?” She points out that the first sentence in paragraph 5, “The “reality” of death is firmly rooted in the belief that God’s Son is a body.” is the crux of the teaching.

At about 1:16:00, Cate takes everyone through a meditation where we say “I am listening” and open our mind to be illuminated with this teaching.

She explains that little children don’t judge. They haven’t put a meaning on anything. She asks us to think of a time when we didn’t have any cares or concerns and to move into that state of mind. That mind of wonder.

She tells us that we’re doing a course with Jesus/Holy Spirit to change our perception of everything. It’s a 24/7 course. A course to see unified perception rather than separation. A course that brings us to unified, infinite Love.

Cate then takes some time to answer some questions that were typed into the chat:
* How do you undo separation? When you see a water bug or mouse in your home, and you see love, how do you get them out of your home?
* Let’s say that someone gets a message from what appears to be the outside world that you are a problem? How does one forgive this? Or join with this in love and in atonement for the healing of all?
* Can you give us an example of how the ego sees a house vs. how love sees a house?
* Are all thoughts from the ego or Holy Spirit? I understand egoic thoughts are about separation and Holy Spirit’s thoughts are about love. I am trying to understand where what seems to be neutral thoughts come from. Such as, “I think I should brush my teeth”.
* What has been helpful for you in joining with the Holy Spirit thoughts and seeing everyone as innocent and thinking only loving thoughts?
* Can you talk about the Holy Spirit?
Cate addresses these questions beautifully while pointing to truth in such a lighthearted way.

She then asks the group to answer these questions throughout the week. She asks everyone to really quieten their mind and dive deeply into these questions.
1) What does the body offer me?
2) What do I think I’m getting out of identifying myself as body?
3) Can I see that these things I’ve answered in the first two questions are the belief in death?

At 1:18:00, Cate takes the group through a Face of Christ meditation.

We’re either out of peace through joining the ego or we’re in peace through joining the Holy Spirit’s & Jesus’ guidance.

Jesus is there for everyone…not just for the “special” ones. He is there for you. Always.

Cate expands on this sentence in paragraph 5: “What should I do for him, Your holy Son? should be the only thing you ever ask when help is needed and forgiveness sought.” She shares her experience with her dad. He asked her to be his carer and she was guided not to do this so she didn’t do it. This allowed her brother to step in and there has been a beautiful healing with her brother and her dad.

She explains that this is the practice. This is what we’re being asked to do as miracle workers. To follow guidance on what to do. And, if she were in the ego mind, it would have told her she’s responsible for her dad and would not have had the miracle/healing as its goal.

The only key to open the door to true forgiveness is to let Him lead the way. Let the Holy Spirit/Jesus do it for us. There is no way we can do this on our own. We can’t get to freedom by ourselves. We say, “You decide for me”.

About 38 minutes in, Cate takes everyone through a meditation using the words from this section to allow it to illuminate in the mind.
