A NEW EARTH / Ch. 10 “A New Earth” / 5.14.08
Synopsis of first 9 weeks:
Week 1: “The Flowering of Human Consciousness”
Difference in Religion and Spirituality:
Religion – External Search for God. (Doctrines / Dogmas / Traditions / Forms)
Spirituality – Awakening to the God within. (Kingdom of God is within)
Difference between Mind & Consciousness:
Mind – our relation to Form, Belief, Thoughts.
Consciousness – Spirit of God within us. (“As a man thinks in his heart…”)
Suggestions for the Awakening:
1-Accept that Christ cannot be defined by, or confined to, Christianity.
2- Embrace the Moving of God – not just the “moves” of God.
3- Affirm Truth wherever you find it (or wherever it reveals itself to you.)
4- Remember Christ was Connected to His religion, but in touch with His Conscience!
A New Heaven – the Emergence of Transformed Consciousness.
A New Earth – It’s Reflection in the Physical Realm.
Week 2: “Ego- The Current State of Humanity”
1- I am what I HAVE.
2- I am what I DO.
3- I am what OTHERS THINK OF ME.
RELIGION can become EGO-DRIVEN: Label driven…Identity Driven (Jew, Muslim,
Christian)
4 EGO KILLERS:
1- I am NOT MY! (I am not my name, gender, race, experience, opinion, religion,
things, lack, sickness, success, failure – I am not my need to have, purchase, own – I am
not my money).
2- I AM! (I am awareness, spirit and connected to the whole).
3- I Am at peace with the Greater I AM!
-I am at peace with my image and likeness of the “I AM.”
4- I Am NOW! (I am not past or future – I Am present – I Am only Alive and Aware
NOW!)
Week 3: “The Core of Ego”
-What you Resist – Persists!
-What you Fight – you Ignite!
-However, once you achieve Forgiveness – the Pain fades away!
Ego Killers:
1- Don’t be afraid to recognize the EGO in yourself and in others.
2- Learn to see the ROOT and not only the SYMPTOMS.
3- Give up the RIGHT to be RIGHT.
4- Choose 5 People who can tell you the truth about yourself – even if it hurts!
Week 4: “Role Playing: The Many Faces of the Ego”
Peace can only exist in Now. Future peace is not peace.

Peace that awaits for peace never arrives.
5 Ego Killers:
1-Create Separation from your ego.
You are not your feelings, thoughts or emotions…you are the awareness of them.
2-Cease from Defending your ego – your thoughts.
Release the need to be right in order to preserve God’s position in the universe.
We did not promote God and we have no power to demote.
We did not create God, and cannot defend God.
3-Embrace Connectedness-Consciousness.
Once we attain to a “connectedness-consciousness” we can clearly see that harming our
neighbor is in essence harming ourselves, and God.
4-Live above Definition.
The ego cannot survive the humility of Namelessness or Labellessness!
5-Awaken to life…to Endlessness.
Concluding is what weary, fearful minds do when the mystery of the unknown yields
exhaustion.
Life has no opposite.
Week 5: “The Pain-Body”
5 Suggestions for Awakening:
1-Accpet the idea that your emotions effect your body!
2-Don’t be afraid to identify your pain-body.
3-Realize you don’t need your pain-body to survive.
4-Consciously forgive Unconsciousness.
5-Feed your mind Deep Positive Thoughts.
Week 6: “Breaking Free of the Pain Body”
Two types of thought:
Type 1: unconscious, involuntary, sometimes toxic
Type 2: conscious, volitional, aware, present
In order to break free from the pain-body we must learn to convert Type 1 thinking into
Type 2 thinking.
Week 7: “Finding Who You Truly Are”
“To Know Thyself” – is the beginning of enlightenment!
-When we embrace each moment we learn, grow and then become free from that
moments negative reoccurrence.
Ego Killers:
1- Refuse Reaction to Unconscious People.
2- Be Present in THIS Moment.
3- Refuse to Define the Un-definable…Refuse giving Form to the Formless.

Ego Killers:
1-Learn to be Still and to be Quiet and to Know
2-Refuse to form Judgment without first embracing.
3- Recognize the impermanence of every good or bad situation.
4- Inner Space is the home of the Kingdom…not Religion.
