My cat Joey went missing one day. My husband asked if I’d seen him in the morning, and I hadn’t. He didn’t show up for his breakfast. The search began. My three kitties are indoor only, so I looked everywhere, opened every drawer, looked under all the furniture, scoured the closets. I rattled the box of food, which usually brings him running. The basement and garage were searched as well, no cat.
I decided my (guilty) husband had carelessly opened the garage door and he had run outside. So I made flyers, walked through the neighborhood, looking under cars, peering into bushes.

In dreaming of a world of separation, we have made up a concept of an individual self. This concept hides the changeless Self that God created from our awareness. We have not lost our true Self. But as long as we identify with a separate self, we cannot know the glory that God shares with our Self. But we have a choice. We can choose to let go of a self-concept we made and accept our Self as It is.
We need to accept the Holy Spirit’s help, Who always speaks for our Self and our Father. By declaring that the power of decision is our own, we are reminding ourselves that we can choose once again. We can choose to let go of our self-concept and accept that we are Love and nothing else. In this acceptance we awaken to the Heaven of God’s Love.

“It has been particularly difficult to overcome the ego’s belief in the body as an end, because it is synonymous with the belief in attack as an end. The ego has a profound investment in sickness. If you are sick, how can you object to the ego’s firm belief that you are not invulnerable? This is an appealing argument from the ego’s point of view, because it obscures the obvious attack that underlies the sickness. If you recognized this and also decided against attack, you could not give this false witness to the ego’s stand.” (T-8.VIII.3:1-5)
I have decided that sickness is a defense against God in every case. No matter what kind of sickness I am experiencing, what pain or discomfort, I know that it is the symbol of an attack thought in my mind.

In the present story of Joyce, my husband wounded me with words, and I felt unjustly treated. My ego analyzed why he would say such hurtful things. This was not his normal behavior. It did not make me feel better to rationalize that he was coming from his own old wounds. It still amounted to him taking out his bad day on me. My heart closed down. I barely spoke to him the rest of the day. I was suffering.
At the same time, almost immediately after his attack began I heard the Holy Spirit’s Voice tell me to say nothing. It felt very hard. I wanted to defend myself. Although physical violence did not occur, I hurt from the verbal blows I received.
