In plain words

Banishing and white magic: leave the place cleaner. Dedicate to the One. Take that role off. Protection is a lamp.

In this sitting

  1. Wanderers and harvest again: the assignment is local.
  2. Homesickness is catalyst. Using it as love for this place is the work.
  3. You came here. Be here.

How this sitting is misread

Living on Earth as a mistake you resent.

Deeper meaning

The ritual of the adept of love. Banishing is not punching demons. It is refusing to leave residue — of fear, of specialness, of a working aimed at getting. The magical personality is worn, then removed. The Course’s day-as-temple is this ritual in street clothes. Dangerous without green.

Practice

Before sleep, mentally clean the day: thank, forgive, release. That is banishing.

service-to-self harvest is real and rare. Do not become fascinated. Do not pretend it is not a path. Choose yours.

Course

Lesson 78, 121. Forgiveness as the evening’s banishing ritual.

Open stream

Spalding

If your magic cannot be told to a child as ‘be kind and tell the truth,’ it is too clever.

Open stream

Rueckert

Tuning songs were banishing as music. You can hum and mean it.
