Participating in God’s Plan for Our Awakening

I am a Son of God. And can I be another thing as well? Did God create the mortal and corruptible? What use has God’s beloved Son for what must die? And yet a neutral thing does not see death, for thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of love bestowed upon it. [The body’s] neutrality protects it while it has a use. And afterwards, without a purpose, it is laid aside. It is not sick nor old nor hurt. It is but functionless, unneeded and cast off. Let me not see it more than this today; of service for a while and fit to serve, to keep its usefulness while it can serve, and then to be replaced for greater good.

My body, Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be sinful nor sinless; neither good nor bad. Let me, then, use this dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams we made. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 294, W-pII.294. See also ACIM Lesson 294 Insights.)

Our sole purpose in this dream is to participate in God’s plan for our awakening. When we accept this purpose, we use the body to serve His plan instead of ego’s, which is to preserve belief in separation.

We use the body sinlessly when we choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide for all our thoughts and actions. He always guides with Love. The eyes of Love show us the presence of Love’s innocence and wholeness everywhere.

We can only see as Love sees when we forgive the past. The ego uses the past to hide from the Love that is present in every now moment. As we let the Holy Spirit teach us that the past is nothing and nowhere, our inner vision is cleared and the dream fades into the nothingness from which it came.

Today we choose to participate in God’s plan to free our mind from mistaken beliefs and awaken to the changeless Love we are.
