The Watcher in the Theater of the Mind.

We sit in the theater of the mind, velvet seats worn by lifetimes of dreams. The projector hums softly behind the head, sending dust motes dancing in a beam of light. On the screen flicker the restless images of the ego: money, trophies, arguments, fleeting joys, anxious faces. They come and they go, dissolving like smoke.

And yet beside the watcher sits Jesus of A Course in Miracles—not as a historical figure, but as the luminous Presence of quiet guidance. He does not fight the images, nor rearrange them. He whispers instead:
“Watch. Do nothing. Ask for nothing to be different. Do not cherish them. Sit in stillness. The projection is coming from the sleeping mind. They are nothing but shadow puppets.”

This is not weakness, but true strength. The world is not healed by changing the film, but by realizing it was never real. Shadows cannot be healed—only the belief in them can.

The miracle is not that the dream improves, but that the dreamer awakens. The miracle is not that the shadows change, but that they are recognized as shadows.

The presence beside us whispers still: “Let the film play. Let the shadows pass. The light is behind you, and it has never gone out.”
Only shadow puppets dance upon the wall. Only stillness abides in the mind. Only God remains.
