Joining with Holy Spirit’s Undivided Goal

The mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind, because it has been given to the Source of love, and fear can never enter in a mind that has attached itself to love. It rests in God. And who can be afraid who lives in Innocence, and only loves?

The Holy Spirit is the home of minds that seek for freedom. In Him they have found what they have sought. The body’s purpose now is unambiguous. And it becomes perfect in the ability to serve an undivided goal.

I am not a body. I am free.
I hear the Voice that God has given me,
and it is only this my mind obeys. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 199, W-pI.199.2;6:1-4;8:7-9. See also ACIM Lesson 199 Insights.)

The ego’s goal could be said to be “divide and conquer.” Yet it conquers only in dreams, for Love cannot be divided. The way out of the chaos and conflict of the dream of separation is to change our allegiance from the ego to the Holy Spirit.

We do this through forgiveness — letting go of the wish to separate. The wish to separate manifests as judgment, fear and guilt. The focal point of all this is the body. For the body is a wall that appears to separate the Self into many warring parts.

The practice of reminding ourselves frequently, “I am not a body, I am free,” loosens our investment in the wall that appears to separate us. As we align ourselves with the Holy Spirit, our inner vision shows us that we are united with all our brothers in the one Self That is wholly loving.

Today we would remind ourselves often, “I am not a body. I am free.”
