Asking of Holy Spirit, “What Is This For?”

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. ²There 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. ²It is not used to witness to the dream of separation and disease. ³Nor is it idly blamed for what it did not do. ⁴It serves to help the healing of God’s Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. ⁵It will not join a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not be sick. ⁶All miracles are based upon this choice, and given you the instant it is made. ⁷No forms of sickness are immune, because the choice cannot be made in terms of form. ⁸The choice of sickness seems to be of form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. ⁹And 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. ⁸And 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.)

What is this for? We must ask this question of Holy Spirit for all our perceptions. Our own answer would misinterpret everything as long as we identify with the ego. This is because the ego’s purpose for everything is to maintain our wish to be separate from our Creator. It denies God’s eternal union with all His creation.

The Holy Spirit sees a different purpose for all our perceptions. He sees them all as teaching aids to help us recognize them as reflections of our beliefs about ourselves that need to be forgiven. As we let Him answer this important question, we will learn to choose to see past form to the Light of Love that surrounds us. We will learn that we are free of the body’s limitations. His purpose sets us free to accept the eternal Love that is God’s Will for us.
