The body's eyes will continue to see differences. But the mind that has let itself be healed will no
longer acknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be "sicker" than others, and the body's eyes
will report their changed appearances as before. But the healed mind will put them all in one category;
they are unreal. This is the gift of its Teacher; the understanding that only two categories are meaningful
in sorting out the messages the mind receives from what appears to be the outside world. And of these
two, but one is real. Just as reality is wholly real, apart from size and shape and time and place - for
differences cannot exist within it - so too are illusions without distinctions. The one answer to sickness of
any kind is healing. The one answer to all illusions is truth.
What is the ego? Nothingness, but in a form that seems like something. In a world of form the ego
cannot be denied for it alone seems real. Yet could God's Son as He created him abide in form or in a
world of form? Who asks you to define the ego and explain how it arose can be but he who thinks it real,
and seeks by definition to ensure that its illusive nature is concealed behind the words that seem to make
it so.
There is no definition for a lie that serves to make it true. Nor can there be a truth that lies conceal
effectively. The ego's unreality is not denied by words nor is its meaning clear because its nature seems
to have a form. Who can define the undefinable? And yet there is an answer even here.
We cannot really make a definition for what the ego is, but we can say what it is not. And this is shown
to us with perfect clarity. It is from this that we deduce all that the ego is. Look at its opposite and you
can see the only answer that is meaningful.
The ego's opposite in every way,in origin, effect and consequencewe call a miracle. And here we find
all that is not the ego in this world. Here is the ego's opposite and here alone we look on what the ego
was, for here we see all that it seemed to do, and cause and its effects must still be one.
Where there was darkness now we see the light. What is the ego? What the darkness was. Where is the
ego? Where the darkness was. What is it now and where can it be found? Nothing and nowhere. Now
the light has come: Its opposite has gone without a trace. Where evil was there now is holiness. What is
the ego? What the evil was. Where is the ego? In an evil dream that but seemed real while you were
dreaming it. Where there was crucifixion stands God's Son. What is the ego? Who has need to ask?
Where is the ego? Who has need to seek for an illusion now that dreams are gone?
What is a miracle? A dream as well. But look at all the aspects of this dream and you will never question
any more. Look at the kindly world you see extend before you as you walk in gentleness. Look at the
helpers all along the way you travel, happy in the certainty of Heaven and the surety of peace. And look
an instant, too, on what you left behind at last and finally passed by.
This was the egoall the cruel hate, the need for vengeance and the cries of pain, the fear of dying and
the urge to kill, the brotherless illusion and the self that seemed alone in all the universe. This terrible
mistake about yourself the miracle corrects as gently as a loving mother sings her child to rest. Is not a
song like this what you would hear? Would it not answer all you thought to ask, and even make the
question meaningless?
Your questions have no answer, being made to still God's Voice, which asks of everyone one question
only: "Are you ready yet to help Me save the world?" Ask this instead of what the ego is, and you will see
a sudden brightness cover up the world the ego made. No miracle is now withheld from anyone. The
world is saved from what you thought it was. And what it is, is wholly uncondemned and wholly pure.
The miracle forgives; the ego damns. Neither need be defined except by this. Yet could a definition be
more sure, or more in line with what salvation is? Problem and answer lie together here, and having met
at last the choice is clear. Who chooses hell when it is recognized? And who would not go on a little while
when it is given him to understand the way is short and Heaven is his goal?

interval de timp, care trebuie s fie totdeauna suficient de lung pentru c ele s
i glezne.

eliminarea stresului, mai ales dac alegi s te plimbi n natur.
d) Exerciii fizice. tiu, am mai amintit despre asta, dar n alt context.
e) Relaii intime amoroase. Sunt sigur c nu spun ceva nou, dar se tie c relaiile
intime amoroase sunt cel mai bun remediu mpotriva stresului i o cale plcut
spre fericire!
f) Ia-i o zi liber. Mai ales dac munceti pe rupte, e cazul sa-i aloci o mic
vacan de o zi sau dou. Vei vedea c face minuni!
g) Deconecteaz. nchide toate telefoanele, calculatorul, televizorul, radioul, etc.
Izoleaz-te pentru un timp de lumea exterioar i permite-i s fii cu tine nsui.
h) Mediteaz. Chiar dac eti nceptor, merit s iei n considerare aceast
super-metod de de-stresare.
i) Iubete. Petrece-i timpul cu cei dragi, iubete fiecare moment al vieii,

j) Relaxeaz-te. ntinde-te n poziie orizontal i permite-i s te odihneti un
timp. Corpul are nevoie de odihn pentru a se reface. Stresul va dispare i te vei
simi mai relaxat.
Metoda 22: Triete mereu n prezent
Timpul trece foarte repede. nainte de a-i da seama, viitorul devine prezent, i
prezentul devine trecut. Muli dintre noi se las acaparai de gnduri, de trairi
iluzorii. i astfel rateaz momentul prezent.
Cum s fii fericit trind n prezent? F ceea ce faci n prezen dar f-o cu toat
atenia i cu toat fiina ta. Las gndurile s treac pe ling tine, detaeaz-te
de ele i observ atent. Fii deplin contient de ceea ce faci.
Metoda 23: Dezvolt-i detaarea i egalitatea
n mijlocul celor mai iritante i neplcute situaii, trebuie s te detaezi de orice
aspect negativ, s priveti de la distan, ca un spectator, toat aceasta
dezlnuire, si s rmi linitit i n echilibru. Detaarea este o cheie secret
pentru o via fericit i echilibrat.
Metoda 24: Eti unic
n consecin, oprete-te din a te compara mereu cu ceilali. Eti unic, i ai ceva
ce nimeni nu are. Nu mai cuta s te compari cu alii, cci vei obine doar iritare
i nemulumire. Caut s fii fericit cu ceea ce ai.
Metoda 25: Beneficiile sunt mai importante dect dificultile
Aadar, focalizeaz-te pe beneficii. Schimbnd punctul de vedere, vei obine un
rspuns emoional de susinere, pozitiv, astfel c aciunile vor fi mai uor de
mplinit.
Metoda 26: Fii romantic
n secolul vitezei i al modernismului, nimic nu poate fi mai salvator pentru o
relaie dect romantismul. Iat cteva idei:
a) Picnic n doi. Mergei mpreun la un picnic, n natur. Pregtete tot ce
trebuie, i amintete-i neaprat de un buchet de flori.
b) Mas romantic. Luminrile creeaz o atmosfer intim i plcut, muzica n
surdin predispune la deschidere i relaxare, iar florile aduc un plus de natural.
c) Masaj. Pe ling calitile relaxante, un masaj poate fi un bun preludiu.
d) Cinema. Deja o modalitate clasic! Mergei s vedei un film, apoi luai masa
mpreun. Face minuni!
Metoda 27: Rezist criticismului
Fiecare n via a avut ocazia s fie critica mcar o dat. Haideti s vedem cum
facem fat acestor momente dificile.
a) Descoperirea criticismului. nva s-l descoperi din timp pe cel care te critic.
Adesea lum lucrurile la modul personal, i asta ne afecteaz. Remediul este s
ne detam si s privim totul ca pe un joc, astfel c nu ne va mai afecta.
b) Pe ce se bazez? Cel care ne critic se bazeaz pe ceva? Dac da, atunci
nseamn c ar putea avea dreptate, doar c a ales s o fac intr-un mod care ne
displace.
c) Stopeaz ideile negative. Fii foarte atent la ceea ce spun, s-ar putea ca ideile
lor s-i dezvolte ndoiala n propriile capaciti. Izoleaz ideile negative, i
nlocuiete-le cat mai repede cu unele pozitive care te ajut s evoluezi si s te
dezvoli.
d) Totdeauna vor exista critici. Sau, e imposibil s mulumeti pe toat lumea.
Aa c detaeaz-te i privete de la distan.
Metoda 28: Ajut-i pe alii
Muli oameni gsesc c a-i ajuta semenii le d o mare satisfacie i fericire. Ce
poate fi mai frumos dect o mn ntins la momentul oportun? Fii spontan i
mereu gata s-i oferi ajutorul dezinteresa i vei vedea cu surprindere ce efecte
minunate are, att asupra ta, cat i asupra celorlati!
Haideti s facem lumea mai bun!
