Nondwelling
Q: How am I to practice desirelessness?
M: No need to practice. No need for any acts of renunciation. Just
turn your mind away, that is all. Desire is merely the fixation of
the mind on an idea. Get it out of its groove by denying it attention.
Q: That is all?
M: Yes, that is all. Whatever may be the desire or fear, don't dwell
upon it. Try and see for yourself. Here and there you may forget, it
does not matter. Go back to your attempts until the brushing away of
every desire and fear, of every reaction, becomes automatic.
Q: How can one live without emotions?
M: You can have all the emotions you want, but beware of reactions,
of induced emotions. Be entirely self-determined and ruled from
within, not from without.
Merely giving up a thing to secure a better one is not true
relinquishment. Give it up because you see its valuelessness. As you
keep on giving up, you will find that you grow spontaneously in
intelligence and power and inexhaustible love and joy.

Very much the same question as asking,
"Would you be brave enough to deny the denial?"
The of life is the heart of EVERY experience,
according to ACIM. Avoided. Denied.
Here (in the holy instant) is what denial has denied
revealed to you... the truth of God's gracious gift..
