In this morning session David & Frances discuss the importance of allowing emotions to arise to get in touch with the underlying beliefs and desires. To bring the focus back to a unified purpose, and to accept all things as they are. The ego uses the entire cosmos as a distraction device, a cosmic fig leaf that covers over the insane belief in private minds and private thoughts.

David starts the "Gift of Happiness" retreat with a showing of "The Ultimate Gift." He uses the movie to show that having and being are one. That we must come into cluelessness to come into salvation and drop all past association. He shows that you can forget this world, not in a denial way, but because you can.

David opened up talking about the title of the retreat "The Gift of Happiness" and the meaning of gifts to the Holy Spirit and to the ego.

Healing requires the recognition that the mind, not the body, is the decision-maker. And this recognition costs the whole world you see. Frances talked about transcending roles and false responsibility, using examples of family relationships. Th...
