Closing Session - Reborn in the Light of Christ - A Tabula Rasa Weekend Online Retreat with David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu
You can't bring the truth into the illusion. We've all read many self-help books, and most of us probably have a whole library of self-help books, but actually, the Course is not about self-help. It's saying, the self that God created doesn't need any help. There's a little child in you, the Christ child, who wants to go home and needs to be quiet for a while. Now that's the kind of Self-help that draws you into the stillness and helps you rest your mind from all the foolish pursuits you've given yourself over to. That's trying to loosen from the roles you've learned where you believe your worth is tied to achieving something in the world or being good at something.
The role of forgiveness is letting go of all the concepts and emptying your mind, and it's not something that you can attain in the world. You don't get a forgiveness certificate. Peace of mind comes to you, but you don't get any recognition from the world of images. So you go inside, and you can feel the joy of connecting with your Creator and the joy of that expansive love. It's a beautiful humbleness, too, because it's a humbleness of inner rest. It's not a humbleness of putting on a show, wearing a mask or trying to be humble.
Enjoy David Hoffmeister and Frances Xu's Closing session from the monthly Tabula Rasa weekend online retreat with the topic 'Reborn in the Light of Christ.'
