The beautiful relationship you have with all your brothers is a part of you because it is a part of God Himself.
Either there is a gap between you and your brother, or you are as one. There is no in between, no other choice, and no allegiance to be split between the two. …[the body] can be seen as not your home, but merely as an aid to help you reach the home where God abides.
With this as purpose is the body healed. It is not used to witness to the dream of separation and disease. Nor is it idly blamed for what it did not do. It serves to help the healing of God’s Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not be sick. All miracles are based upon this choice, and given you the instant it is made. No forms of sickness are immune, because the choice cannot be made in terms of form. The choice of sickness seems to be of form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And you are sick or well, accordingly.
…the body can be seen as what it is, and neither less nor more in worth than the extent to which it can be used to liberate God’s Son unto his home. And with this holy purpose is it made a home of holiness a little while, because it shares your Father’s Will with you. (A Course in Miracles, T-28.VII.2:1;3:1-2,6;4;7:7-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
An early ACIM Workbook lesson teaches that we do not know what anything is for. To the ego, everything is for justifying belief that separation is real. It is a hoax on such a grand scale that it has made a world that pictures separation so vividly that we really do seem to be separate individuals imprisoned in a body for a life that ends in death. It is not true and never can be true. Only our belief in in this ego dream binds us to it.
We can awaken from the dream. A child having a nightmare needs a kind and loving parent to awaken him from the dream and show him he is safe at home. Likewise the Voice for our Father is ever present in our mind to lovingly awaken us from the ego’s dream. The Holy Spirit gives the body a different purpose, using it as a teaching aid. Gently and patiently He guides us to recognize that the body and this world are not our Home. He brings the Light of Love into our mind in a way that does not frighten us, but instead attracts us to the peace and joy Love offers.
Each time we learn one of His lessons, we experience increased peace and happiness. The body is used for the Holy Spirit’s holy purpose to lead us Home to the Love that is our Life in God. Today we welcome His lessons.
