Increasing motivation for change / teachers of teachers
maz
IMO, They are referred to by Jesus as "special agents", and he calls himself
one of them. A literal reading of the Course reveals that not all members of
the Sonship went into perception. So there are those who fully share the
Holy Spirit's temporary dual function: Knowledge and Right Perception, while
actually residing in Knowledge, not having bought into a tiny mad idea.
Which makes them capable to help the Atonement in favor of the separated
ones which is necessary because as long as the Sonship is not fully
restored, - which means every member of the Sonship shifts from wrong minded
perception to right minded perception (real world) via miracle-mindedness,
God's Last Step is delayed.
If I recall correctly, Jesus says the "special agents" job is of utter
importance in the celestial speed-up. He also says that as the "first
complete witness" to God, his job assignment is being in charge of the
Atonement, in charge of the Sonship and in charge of time, which includes
the task of a special agent, as there is one unified purpose and Plan of
Salvation which is shared among all, whether aware or not.
This might sound a bit clumsy, but that's what came up. thanks ken brother.
I suggest to look up the respective passages and "special agents" in the UR.
Peace all, mARTin
Contemplating the question prayerfully has led to reviewing the following
teachings of Jesus in A Course In Miracles:
@}-->-->--------
277. When time is abolished, and all of the Sons of God have come home, no
special agents will be necessary. But do not underestimate the power of
special agents now, or the great need there is for them. I do not claim to
be more than that myself. No one in his Right Mind, (a term which should be
specially noted) ever wants either more or less than that. Those who are
called on to witness for me NOW are witnessing for all men, as I am.
437. The Atonement actually began long before the Crucifixion. Many Souls
offered their efforts on behalf of the Separated Ones but they could not
withstand the strength of the attack, and had to be brought back.
438. Angels came, too, but their protection was not enough, because the
Separated ones were not interested in peace. They had already split
themselves, and were bent on dividing rather than reintegrating. The levels
they introduced into themselves turned against each other, and they, in
turn, turned against each other. They established differences, divisions,
cleavages, dispersion, and all the other concepts related to the increasing
splits they produced.
439. Not being in their Right Minds, they turned their defenses from
protection to assault, and acted literally insanely. It was essential to
introduce a split-proof device which could be used ONLY to heal, if it was
used at all.
We have said many times that ONLY what God creates, or what man creates with
the same will, has any real existence. This, then, is all that the innocent
can see. They do not suffer from the delusions of the Separated ones.
445. In this sense, the Atonement saves time, but, like the miracle which
serves it, does not abolish it. As long as there is need for Atonement,
there is need for time. But the Atonement, as a completed plan, does have a
unique relationship to time. Until the Atonement is finished, its various
phases will proceed IN time, but the whole Atonement stands at its end. At
this point, the bridge of the return has been built. 446. (Note to HS. The
reason this is upsetting to you is because the Atonement is a TOTAL
commitment. You still think this is associated with loss. This is the same
mistake ALL the Separated ones make, in one way or another. They cannot
believe that a defense which CANNOT attack also IS the best defense. Except
for this misperception, the angels COULD have helped them
440. The Atonement was built into the space-time belief in order to set a
limit on the need for the belief, and ultimately to make learning complete.
The Atonement IS the final lesson. Learning, itself, like the classrooms in
which it occurs, is temporary. Let all those who overestimate human
intelligence remember this.
1203. All the separated ones have a basic fear of retaliation and
abandonment. This is because they BELIEVE in attack and rejection, so this
is what they perceive and teach and LEARN. These insane concepts are clearly
the result of their own dissociation and projection. What you teach you are,
but it is quite apparent that you can teach wrongly, and therefore TEACH
YOURSELVES WRONG. Many thought that I was attacking them, even though it was
is quite apparent that I was NOT. An insane learner learns strange lessons.
1204. What you must understand is that, when you do not SHARE a thought
system, you ARE weakening it. Those who BELIEVE in it therefore perceive it
this as an ATTACK ON THEM. This is because everyone identifies himself WITH
his thought system, and EVERY thought system centers on WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU
ARE. If the center of the thought system is TRUE, only truth extends outward
from it. But if a lie is at its center, only DECEPTION proceeds from it. All
good teachers realize that only fundamental change will last. But they do
NOT begin at that level. Strengthening MOTIVATION for change is their first
and foremost goal. It is also their last and final one. Increasing
motivation for change IN THE LEARNER is all that a teacher NEED do to
GUARANTEE change. This is because a change in motivation IS a change of
mind, and this will INEVITABLY produce fundamental change BECAUSE the mind
is fundamental."
Thank you Jesus.
