Seeing Beyond the Body to Our True Self

I bless the world because I bless myself.

²God’s blessing shines upon me from within my heart, where He abides. ³I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away, as I accept His boundless Love for me.

²I will be still, and let the earth be still along with me. ³And in that stillness we will find the peace of God. ⁴It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself.

⁵I am not a body. ⁶I am free.
⁷For I am still as God created me. (A Course in Miracles, W-207.1;208.1:2-7. See also ACIM Lesson 207 Insights.)

The wish for specialness requires that we perceive everyone and everything in the world as different from what we are. But this perception can only seem to be real in illusions. Within the dream of separateness, the idea that we bless the world when we bless ourselves seems impossible.

The Course is teaching us that our Reality is the opposite of our perceptions in the dream. The oneness of Love unites us with every brother and our Creator. This is why we bless the world when we bless our Self. There is no separation. We are one Self, united with our Creator. This is why it is important that we remind ourselves that we are not a body. It is an image made to make separation seem real.

Beyond that image is the Love we are. Love has no form; It is not limited by time or space. As we let go of body identification, we free ourselves to experience the joy and peace of the Love we are. Today we call upon the Holy Spirit for His help to learn this important lesson.
