What IS The Golden Rule?
by Lisa Trevino
a quick 4 1/2 minute recording
 
"As ye perceive,  So shall ye behave."

The Golden Rule asks you to behave toward others as you would have them behave toward you. 
This means that the perception of BOTH must be accurate.
The Golden Rule is the rule for appropriate behavior.

You cannot behave appropriately unless you perceive accurately,
because appropriate behavior DEPENDS on lack of level confusion.
The presense of level confusion ALWAYS results in variable reality testing,
and therefore in variability in behavioral appropriateness.

Since you and your neighbor are equal members of the same family,
as you perceive both, so will you behave toward both.

The way to perceive for Golden Rule behavior is to look out from the perception of
your OWN holiness, and perceive the holiness of others.

Psychotherapy & A Course In Miracles - Part I

 

"Intro"

"The Purpose of Psychotherapy"

"The Limits on Psychotherapy"


A Course in Miracles Talk

by Lisa Trevino & Tom Glod

 

 Psychotherapy is the only form of therapy there is. Since only the mind can be
sick, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing. This does not
appear to be the case, for the manifestations of this world seem real indeed.
Psychotherapy is necessary so that an individual can begin to question their reality.
Sometimes he is able to start to open his mind without formal help, but even then it is
always some change in his perception of interpersonal relationships that enables him to do
so. Sometimes he needs a more structured, extended relationship with an "official"
therapist. Either way, the task is the same; the patient must be helped to change his mind
about the "reality" of illusions.

"The Spiritual Ego"

A Course in Miracles Talk

by Lisa Trevino

with Tom Glod, Monica, Betsy, Cam & Cliff


Sure, you know that when you suffer it is because you are listening to the ego,
however what about the "sweet pain" of sacrifice, martyrdom,
arrogance and "love" of the "Spiritual Ego?" 

Join us for two and a half hours, as we talk about this strange phenomenon
wherein the ego slips on another skin to maintain itself. 

Above each segment is a list of what aspects of the "Spiritual Ego" are discussed below. 


Part One:
about 30 minutes long

1. Seeing others as your equals "now" but believing in a past life
in which you were "special." 
See p. 60 in Manual For Teachers of FIP ACIM, section 24 "Is Reincarnation Real?"

2. Believing you have psychic powers that no one else
could possess and that it makes you "more spiritual." 
See p. 62 in Manual For Teachers on Psychic Powers.

3. Hiding what is really going on in your mind, acting
"as if" but denying what you really believe, pretending you are F.I.N.E.
F.I.N.E. is an acronym for F'd up, Insecure, Neurotic & Emotional


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Part Two:
about 32 minutes long

1. Believing that healing is an onward and upward experience,
not really understanding that healing happens in Ebbs and Flows.
See p. 11 in Manual for Teachers - in The Development of Trust

2. Fearing letting others down, that you will not look or sound spiritual,
feeling responsible for others "getting it." 
Believing you are responsible FOR your brother and not TO your brother.

3. Thinking that if you "confess your sins" but still hold the belief that you were/are guilty
for them, that you are "forgiven."


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Part Three:
about 26 minutes long

1. Thinking you are a "loving or caring" person because you worry about others.
False vs. True Empathy

2. Thinking you are "enlightened" because you have experienced revelation,
but haven't healed your mind. 
* note: enlightened can have different meanings.
"A fully awakened mind" would be synonymous with "enlightened" in this discussion.


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Parts Four & Five:
about 25 minutes long for Part 4 & 20 minutes long for Part 5

1.  Comparing spiritual practices, one being "right" and another "wrong,"
one being "good" and another "bad.
Fighting over versions of A Course in Miracles, the Bible,
or other spiritual book, or arguing over what something in those books mean. 

2. Doing drugs to elicit a higher state of consciousness and thinking that makes you awakened
without healing your mind.
includes a little discussion about addiction too

3. Avoiding romantic relationships and friendships,
believing that only in solitude can you reach enlightenment. 
See Manual For Teachers, Levels of Teaching section
Also includes discussions about isolation, fear of intimacy, and the role of animals in healing!
