Your mind is not in your body, your body is in your mind as is everything you see and experience. The body you see is the projected imagery of your mind, nothing more. [The world] does not exist independent of your mind; it cannot, for it is your invention. Today we will try to have the experience of the non-separateness of all things. We will try to take an important step that will begin to show us the Unity that is our Mind and Being. (From the Christ Mind Book II, pp. 277-278)
As we look through the body’s eyes, it seems impossible that the world we see “out there” is actually in our mind. Yet the ego, the thought system of separation, is in our mind. The body is an image made by the ego as a substitute for our Identity in the Mind of God. Being a substitute, it is not real. As an unreal image, the body is incapable of seeing reality.
The body cannot show us unity, being itself an image of separation. We must turn to another kind of seeing in order to recognize our Unity in the Mind of Love. This vision is offered us by the Holy Spirit from outside the thought system of separation. This inner vision sees past all form to the Spirit of Love that is ever present. Forms are recognized as meaningless and without substance because only Love is real.
As we learn to accept that what we see is in our mind, we can take responsibility for our seeing. The practice of taking all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit to look at with His vision is the path that leads us Home to Unity and Love.
