Peace of Mind Healing is a course that I run in Cork's College of Commerce and Colaiste Stiofan Naofa. This blog covers the main ideas and techniques that I present during the course. It deals with us taking responsibility for our own lives. This we do by becoming aware of the effects of our thinking, realising that we need to change the way we think and then changing what we think about and how we think about it. Even though the ideas are similar, this is nothing like the way my teaching goes due to interactions and spontaneity, neither of which can be as real in a blog as in a classroom.

2. History, an exceptionally brief one.

I am going to use the word "God". I am reluctant to do so, because the word has been used and abused so much. Too much damage has been done in the name of God. So, maybe, I better start with what I mean by God.

God is the totality of everything, and as such is everywhere. That makes all of us a part of God.

God created...

We are part of God's creation.

God created us with exactly the same qualities as Himself (See note 1.)

God is Love, We are Love
God is Light, We are Light
God is Life, We are Life
God is Peace, We are Peace
God is Joy, We are Joy
God is Truth, We are Truth
God is Power, We are Power
God is Strength, We are Strength
God is Free, We are Free
God is Safe, We are Safe
God is Open, We are Open
God is Holy, We are Holy

God is... We are...

This is the only Real State. It is timeless, spaceless, eternal.

We believe we are separate, and have based everything on the perception, or extended perception, of our senses. This belief I call ego. Ego is an illusion made up of illusions. With our egos we take this timeless, spaceless, eternal creation and make something of it - lots of things, lots of separate things, that appear to be happening outside ourselves.

They appear to be happening in a time sequence from beginning to end. But it is all illusion. God's qualities are all there is, and when we realise this, all the illusions just disappear. They never were.

It depends on our perspective
  • Ego-based - what we see as the world, the universe and all their apparent history.
  • God-based - all is ours. We are all.
So the exceptionally brief, simple history is
  1. We separated ourselves from God.
  2. We realised that we were separate.
  3. We returned to Oneness with God, the Source of all Creation.
History over!


Note 1. The use of He, Him when referring to God is purely a convention. It has nothing whatsoever to do with gender or even bodies.
