The Christ in you inhabits not a body. ²Yet He is in you. ³And thus it must be that you are not within a body. ⁴What is within you cannot be outside. ⁵And it is certain that you cannot be apart from what is at the very center of your life. ⁶What gives you life cannot be housed in death. ⁷No more can you. ⁸Christ is within a frame of Holiness whose only purpose is that He may be made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may call to them to come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. ⁹Then will their bodies melt away, that they may frame His Holiness in them.
No one who carries Christ in him can fail to recognize Him everywhere. ²Except in bodies. ³And as long as he believes he is in a body, where he thinks he is He cannot be. ⁴And so he carries Him unknowingly, and does not make Him manifest.
The body needs no healing. ²But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick indeed! ³And it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. ⁴His purpose folds the body in His light, and fills it with the Holiness that shines from Him. ⁵And nothing that the body says or does but makes Him manifest. ⁶To those who know Him not it carries Him in gentleness and love, to heal their minds. ⁷Such is the mission that your brother has for you. ⁸And such it must be that your mission is for him. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.in.1:1–2:4;3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
To accept Christ as our Identity is to accept the Self that God created as His one Son. Thus the Christ is in everyone. He is not limited by an image of a body.
As we let Love be our Guide to show us Its Presence everywhere, we become messengers of Love. We offer Love to all in recognition that the Love in everyone is the same Love that we are.
Where there is a call for Love, we answer with Love. We recognize the call is coming from a mind that has forgotten its Source. As we answer with Love, we strengthen our own recognition of the Love that is our true Self. In this joining, our mind is no longer limited by images of bodies and an outside world. In gratitude we join in the eternal flow of Love extending to Itself.
