Only the ego sees sh*t?

'Re-interpreting in a Pollyannaish manner what the ego sees and makes is not
mental correction. '
'What would be indicative of a healed mind --the ability to look upon stalk
raving insanity and remain uneffected in perfect peace, or the inability to
look upon stalk raving insanity with any peace at all without first
"re-interpreting" stalk raving insanity as sane, perfect, loving and just as
thing should be?
Do you really think Jesus sees war as perfect, rather than insane? Do you
really believe the way to change insane thinking is to choose to see its
results as perfect, sane and just as it should be?
Strictly speaking you don't "have an ego," in the sense of an unfortunate
condition somehow beyond your control.
YOU made the ego.
Get this. YOU made the ego. At the level of the Kingdom of Heaven, through
God-given free will, YOU first accepted the concept of lack. This in turn
created an intolerable condition where the mind seemed to split and the mind
became a perceiver rather than a knower. In turn, this initial acceptance of
lack created a world of bodies where perception was possible and created an
alternative identity(ego)which operates from and believes in the thought
system predicated on lack, fear, sin, guilt,punishment and death.
You are creator of the ego. The ego is not the devil. The ego is your baby.
Your creation. If your ego appears separate from you, at war with you or
counter to your true, God-given nature, or sees a world predicated on lack,
this is how you created it and even now your ego is still fulfilling the
function you gave it of maintaining the dream of death.
Hence speaking of the ego at all in terms of course based mental correction
is beginning level course study, elementary and insufficient, especially
when "the ego," is spoken about as though separate, autonomous, and the
source of all evil and sin which somehow blocks your straight shot to the
Kingdom of Heaven. What can more obvious when a course students projects on
"the ego" all evil and sin, that the student must still be believing in evil
and sin and fear and must still be maintaining the core mistake/belief in
lack?
Only the ego sees shit? How pompous, delusional and self-deceiving! YOU see
shit.
You are the creator. You created your ego. The ego didn't create you. You
are the one with the mind that makes perception and seeing shit even
possible. Since when and in what possible sense can a false identity "see"?
And if the ego is more, ie, a false creation, then clearly YOU created it to
see shit and see shit for you.
Re-interpreting in a Pollyannaish manner what the ego sees and makes is not
mental correction.
How can seeing shit as fertilizer resolve the core belief in lack when the
notion of fertilizer is itself permeated and completely dependent on the
notion of lack?
In fact everything you see or possibly imagine seeing, despite any
interpretation, is permeated with and completely dependent on the belief in
lack --because perception is only possible and only desirable because of a
belief in lack. That would include the most holy perception you could ever
dream up --and I would argue also include the holy, forgiven perception of
the Holy Spirit.
That is why I don't trust Pollyannaish, everything is roses, everything is
love interpretations of what has been mis-created through belief in lack. It
also why I reject gratuitous claims that Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, or a
healed mind or you could look upon a child bombed and burned with white
phosphorous and "see only love," as new age bullshit.
From my reading of the course, what a completely enlightened, healed mind
would see instead is stalk raving insanity and minds need of healing while
perceiving this from an emotional state of perfect peace."

stark raving mad, or what.
All we hav econtrol over is what "we" see and if we see something unloving,
not aligned with God/Source, as soon as we are aware of this, we ask "which
teacher am I following?" and shift to Holy Spirit/ Right Mind.
At least that would be a goal?
The times I've remembered it I've seen it work.

"Or what"? Seeing anything from that mentioned emotional state of
perfect peace
is waht enables the miracle to come in action. The Peace matters,
unless it all be mindless magic.
It matters to Jesus, because the Sonship consists of all parts, all of
which need to learn what matters: miracle based correction.

That's exactly why it matters. Because there is an impersonal level of
correction of perceoption so that it translates into Knowledge. As in
"delay only matters (is tragic) in time".

I think problems come when one person sees this, or thinks they do, and
points it out, tries to correct it, in someone else.
We can only be aware of our own mind and teacher.
