A Course In Miracles is talking about the idea that Pain And Pleasure are both illusions and unreal. Ironically I get to take some negative commentary and some minor successes and put those ideas to the test.

A Course In Miracles (ACIM) and pain and pleasure are equally unreal. They are both illusory and they are both the same. ACIM had been hammering home for months that pain is not real. It’s just playing god. Our ego’s being out of control.
It’s all in my perspective in the moment. For me as I’m closer to source, if I’m feeling that in the moment purity that illusion of pain goes away.
We can talk about physical pain. The idea that we are going to all die. The way that we relate to this world, this existence, our bodies are no longer going to be of use on the planet…
And by the way, pleasure is just as unreal. Pain and Pleasure are equally unreal. Just to drive this home. There is a guy, who in front of lots of people, says “it looks like a poodle is fucking your head.” Kind of aggressive but you’ve got to be able to laugh at yourself…
So then I go out on this boat trip, some pictures are taken, I’m in the background, someone who is not on the boat trip, sees a picture and says “Who brought the poodle?” What I wanted to reply was, “you must have got your ass kicked a lot in high school…” but I didn’t lol.
And then what I was going to reply was, “Steve brought the poodle”. Because I car pooled with Steve, which I thought was rather witty :).
As this is flying around in my head I’m like “I’ve got to let this go.” And then the idea struck me that this pain and pleasure is equally unreal. So I give a quick resentment prayer to this dude… And then I’m like wait a minute Mischa, I like when people say, “Oh, you're so insightful”, or “your hair looks great”, or “You look like Robert Plant.” That’s the pleasure piece. The good with the bad. This is such an opportunity on a nuanced level to take the good with the bad.
To not let a negative comment create operation from source. Just like if I get positive commentary not let that affect me in the same way. Not let either go to my head and affect me.
So ironic on the day ACIM is like Pain and Pleasure are equally unreal, I get the opportunity to pay attention even more to the positive commentary.
I need to be prepared and let the negative commentary flow through as I need to be prepared to let the success flow through.
1000 people register for the summit I get to let that go. 10000 people register for the summit I get to let that go.
I notice as I check compulsively the registrations. If there’s lots of new ones don’t take it personally, if there’s no new registrations don’t take that personally. Or even better how about just don’t check compulsively.
