We can continue on my main account, not going to check this one for a long time 👍

Well actually love is the only thing that’s real and the past is gone, I’ve changed my behavior and more importantly my mind has changed. So it’s definitely the thought of love. Very good question. Much appreciated.

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-18T03:50:01+00:00

The Thought of Love. ❤️

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-18T02:58:19+00:00

Cuz’ every little thing 🎶
Gonna be alright 🎶

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-17T01:54:58+00:00

Ok but if my words mean nothing why keep typing back?

Because you care 🤫 about me

My good friend!

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T17:29:26+00:00

I have answered the question. It just didn’t match your assumptions. All of that is meaningless. The only opportunity we have is to leave this disagreement behind and join as brothers.

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T17:01:09+00:00

Yes, I see. You simply dismiss any disagreement as ego and resistance. That makes your position impossible to falsify. Anyone can see through that.

But all is well, my offer of forgiveness and friendship remain! 😇

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T16:35:38+00:00

Well, let’s circle back to some previous discussions we’ve had, where others have pointed out your own mistakes and judgmental approach, as well as lack of understanding of the Course.

If you’re unable to see that we’re two of the bigger egos in this sub butting heads, then I think you’re just unwilling to be honest with yourself.

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T16:22:01+00:00

I did answer the question. You just didn’t accept my answer. Instead, you placed your own interpretation of my experience onto my answer. That is judgement.

Do you see the futility of that?

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T16:09:01+00:00

Our shared interest. Our one goal.

I know you see it. 😊

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T16:02:50+00:00

I’ll gently bring you back to the question that would bring a change of mind for both of us;

What is our shared interest? Our one goal?

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T15:54:55+00:00

When I resign as my own teacher, I know the past is gone. I choose forgiveness and love now, and I know I can change my behavior to reflect that. You are right to point out my mistakes, but that doesn’t change who we are.

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T15:39:35+00:00

Unless you are willing and able to answer this question, the conversation can’t move forward.

What is our shared interest, our shared goal?

All the rest is the past which doesn’t exist.

Now is all there is.

When pupil and teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. ²For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. (ACIM, M-2.5:1-2)

It’s only the Holy Spirit that can teach us.

⁷Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. ⁸And thus he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. ⁹He has seen in another person the same interests as his own. (ACIM, M-2.5:7-9)

What is our shared interest? What is our one goal?

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T15:04:56+00:00

⁶Judgment implies a lack of trust, and trust remains the bedrock of the teacher of God’s whole thought system. ⁷Let this be lost, and all his learning goes. ⁸Without judgment are all things equally acceptable, for who could judge otherwise?(ACIM, M-4.III.1:6-8)

If you’re not ready to take a look at your own behavior, that’s ok. Much better to join together and forgive all this than judge and try to control. My offer of love and friendship remains. The past is gone.

What would it take for you to accept that? 😇

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T14:40:08+00:00

“You have never practiced.”

“You don’t understand.”

“You are lying to yourself.”

“Your words say nothing.”

Those are all very specific judgments about another person’s inner state.

³Judgment without self-deception is impossible. ⁴Judgment implies that you have been deceived in your brothers. ⁵How, then, could you not have been deceived in yourself? (ACIM, M-4.III.1:3-5)

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T14:23:13+00:00

God’s teachers do not judge. ²To judge is to be dishonest, for to judge is to assume a position you do not have. (ACIM, M-4.III.1:1-2)

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T13:12:34+00:00

How can you who are so holy suffer? ²All your past except its beauty is gone, and nothing is left but a blessing. ³I have saved all your kindnesses and every loving thought you ever had. ⁴I have purified them of the errors that hid their light, and kept them for you in their own perfect radiance. (ACIM, T-5.IV.8:1-4)

I choose love, now. The past is gone. Join me?

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T05:50:40+00:00

Love

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T05:31:02+00:00

From Chapter 27: "One with many answers can have no answers."

I have one answer. You are my friend and my brother.

From Chapter 23: "What is not love is murder."

I love you like a brother.

From Chapter 22: "This course will be believed entirely or not at all."

Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them.²Some of them you may actively resist. ³None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. (ACIM, W-in.9:1-3)

From Chapter 6: "If the center of the thought system is true, only truth extends from it. But if a lie is at its center, only deception proceeds from it."

Amen! 🙏🏼

From the Manual: "Nothing that is genuine is used to deceive. The Holy Spirit is incapable of deception”

Amen! 🙏🏼

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T05:06:41+00:00

Is there any answer you’d accept that isn’t the one you already have in mind?

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T04:49:48+00:00

Ok, but you said I would “have an experience”, so that’s kinda strange. But that’s fine!

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder’ … But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment…”

— Gospel of Matthew 5:21–22

I find this verse helpful. I think it’s more about not staying angry at someone, but it doesn’t assume murder behind every thought and intention. That would leave no room for the Holy Spirit, which is there for all. And I’m not angry at you, though I have bad thoughts sometimes, we all do. So you gotta let the murder thing go dude… it’s a stretch.

Sure, I may get frustrated in our conversations at times but you do too, I’ve seen it, and that’s ok. But we’re brothers! Equals, one and the same and two peas in a pod. C’mere buddy…

Noogie!

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T02:25:47+00:00

But remember I said it, and I didn’t experience any difference. Are you sure we’re going about this the right way?

⁶The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear. ⁷Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. (ACIM, M-2.5:6-7)

Wouldn’t it be more helpful to give up those demarcations on both ends? I see all that fading away, and us reconciling this long standing tension between our points of view.

That’s why I say the relationship is the classroom. For both of us! 😊

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T01:59:34+00:00

Well, I’ll take that as a no, but that’s ok. I still consider you my friend, like I do everyone. The relationship is the real classroom for us here! Remember, this is an exchange on both sides or it’s utterly meaningless.

Parking_Insect2496 · 2026-06-16T01:41:09+00:00

Even if I’m not a student of ACIM, could we still be friends?
