Joan is a crack addict. She tells me that she no longer loves her husband but she cannot leave him. Through a long story we were able to pinpoint her major issue as "good girl" versus "bad girl". I asked her to write down all of the pros and cons about her "good girl" identity and all of the pros and cons about the "bad girl" sub-personality. Secondly, we analyzed her parents’ relationship and found that the mother was the good sacrificial protective parent who suffered, and the father was the bad selfish neglectful parent who had a good time. Just recently they reversed roles and the mother had taken to drinking and partying and the father had become worried and concerned. Joan has to resolve her parents’ lifelong dilemma in her own psyche and in own marriage. She vacillates between obligation to her husband and fun with her friends.

She realized that neither of these good girl or bad girl postures was working and that is why she vacillates so much. She gets high and then gets guilty, goes home and gets bored and angry, and repeats the cycle. The oracle showed her that she can step out of this repetitive cycle of opposites and become the Observer of both of her ego cycles. As the Observer she is neither one of these self-image identities. The oracle emphasizes that in her true and infinite nature, she is already free and high, without artificial stimulants. Her high self comes alive and she connects spiritually to my high self. The whole room seems full of light and she is no longer struggling with guilt and rebellion about her husband. His attempts to manipulate her and rescue her no longer seem relevant and binding.

She no longer needs to feel like his victim, nor like his rescuer, nor like a perpetrator who is ruining his life. She is outside of the painful victim triangle as the Observer and as the Infinite Being that she is. There is nothing to rescue or to be rescued. She is aware. This awareness may regress but once there has been a breakthrough, you can circle back and re-connect and re-enforce the Observer awareness. Every major aspect of the finite belief system in her husband and in herself must be identified so that she can confront it when it happens, rather than succumb to its toxic influence and ignore her Infinite Vision.

Since nearly all human behavior is controlled by finite beliefs, we could be quite preoccupied with belief analysis and confrontation. This process can be shortened and simplified by realizing that most human issues are really mediocre or "small stuff". There is really only one big item of ignorance to confront and that is our infinite nature. If you can live on the edge between the Infinite and the finite, you will have a much easier time dis-empowering all of the thousands of finite beliefs individually.

If you are upset, look and see what finite belief has control of you. If your mind tells you that you are upset because of external circumstances or because of someone else, that idea must be exposed every time as a mis-belief. You are never upset due to someone else or to circumstances. You are only upset about your expectations and your beliefs about how things ought to be. A Course in Miracles puts it bluntly: "You are never upset for the reason that you think." If we choose no longer to participate, the dilemma has to dissolve.

Man, in his blindness, is quite satisfied with himself, but heartily dislikes the circumstances and situations of his life. He feels this way, not knowing that the cause of his displeasure lies not in the condition nor the person with whom he is displeased, but in the very self he likes so much. He is shocked when he discovers that it has always been his own deceitfulness that made him suspicious of others.

Infinity 2001 refers to the exploding Infinity Experience of the 21^st Century. Infinity 2001 is the era that we are entering now, perhaps unaware of its breadth, depth and meaning. Infinity 2001 refers to our current era of expanded awareness and creativity. Infinity 2001 refers to the process of the consciousness transformation which is now unfolding since all of the necessary emerging pieces of the puzzle of human nature are present for the first time in history.

What are these "necessary emerging pieces of the puzzle about human nature that are all present for the first time in history?"
