Form Versus Content

In this edited transcription of a one-day workshop, the almost universal preoccupation with sex and money in the world is explained in the context of the ego's plan to root us in the mindless state of the body, thus keeping us from returning to the decision-making part of our minds where we would clearly see both the source and the healing of the conditions that lead to these emotionally-laden issues. The emphasis is thus on identifying the underlying motivation that governs behavior in these two important areas of our lives. The discussion further reveals how both sex and money are used by the ego to support its doctrine of separate interests--the principle of one or the other--and therefore how the Holy Spirit can use these very same forms as a means of teaching us that our interests are not separate, and that no one has to suffer or be sacrificed in order that our needs be met.
