The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two, and still be what It is and must forever be. A mind and body cannot both exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be real. If you are physical, your mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no place in which it could be really part of you. If you are spirit, then the body must be meaningless to your reality.
Spirit makes use of mind as means to find its Self expression. And the mind which serves the spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. Yet mind can also see itself divorced from spirit, and perceive itself within a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then it has no peace, and happiness is alien to its thoughts. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 96, W-pI.96.3:3-4:5. See also ACIM Lesson 96 Insights.)
Our purpose here is to serve Spirit. We serve Spirit by being willing to open our mind to Spirit’s healing peace and quiet inner joy… We serve Spirit by quietly listening and following… We let peace lead the way…
In quiet is every problem quietly resolved. Peace returns where there was conflict… Fears disappear in Spirit’s healing Light… All that is not real and doesn’t really matter quietly disappears as Spirit comes forward in our mind. We recognize our oneness, our safety and Love’s eternal Presence.
