Undoing Our Identification with a Body

What you think you are is a belief to be undone. ⁸But what you really are must be revealed to you. ⁹The belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. ¹⁰The truth of what you are calls on the strength in you to bring to your awareness what the mistake conceals.

²You need to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. ³You need to feel something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the body. ⁴You need a real experience of something else, something more solid and more sure; more worthy of your faith, and really there.

…[allow] your mistaken thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their place. ³Say, for example:

⁴I am not weak, but strong.
⁵I am not helpless, but all powerful.
⁶I am not limited, but unlimited. (W-91.6:7-10;7:2-4;8:2-6)

We need to let go of our belief that we are a body. This misidentification is the basis for all our misperceptions. Founded on the wish for specialness, the body constantly feeds us misinformation about reality.

There can be no differences in the oneness of God’s Love, which is all that is real. But perceptions of the body only show us images of differences. It is time to focus on the attributes of our true Self, which share all of God’s attributes. This Self shares our Father’s strength, power, Love and holiness. It is our eternal Identity.
