How is the body seen through the ego’s eyes?
I see my body as the face of sin and death. I see my body as a home for parasitic thoughts of death and attack, robbing me of my sustenance. I see a fleshly casing and covering that is filled with sin, death and disease. My body is afraid of death, for this will be the demise of me. I will be wiped from existence as my body sickens and retreats into dust; for the dust too will vanish and there will be nothing left of me — the body telling me that I have never existed. My greatest fear comes upon me at death — the fear that I am not real. And if I am not real, then there must not be a God.

Forgiveness is probably the most important spiritual lesson for many reasons, one of which is that our lives depend on it.
To truly forgive we need to understand the why’s and how’s of how it works. As with any fix-it project, the most important factor, after the decision to repair something, is to use the right tools. Without the proper tools, all the determination in the world usually results in little change. We are fortunate to have these tools today. I wish I’d had them at 16. I wish I’d had them at 30 when I was blaming the world for my problems. I wish I’d used them yesterday when I felt slighted by one of God’s children, and condemned him in my mind.

Since I was very little, my highest joy was always in singing and communing with God. I was aware that I came here to follow a path back Home and that He was leading me. Through the years I remained aware of and cherished His Presence. After many years in a very successful career as manager, I started to feel an inner calling, as if something was missing and I started to wonder what it was.

“Myron* and I are going to teach from The Song of Prayer on ACIM Radio*,” my ex-wife Nancy informed me a few weeks ago. “Would you like to read the book with me and then talk about it?”
My first response was thinking, “not really, I already know about prayer and forgiveness and healing,” then almost immediately was my thought that “the ego always speaks first.” “Sure,” I said, “It would probably be a good idea for me to review that pamphlet.”

All of my life I struggled with that one. I was always a little bit too sensitive; I couldn’t stand seeing anyone suffer. So there I would go, jumping head first into the dance of being overly helpful.

Remember that song that asked the question: Why do we always hurt the ones we love?
Why do I feel at times so tense and in rage in my partner’s presence? After all, we’ve been together for over 28 years and I still react in rage and feel the need to defend myself. I say I love God, but how can I love Him when I attack His Son, my brother, my one Self? Since ACIM says there is no one out there, is the person I see as my partner really only a symbol of an ancient hate?

This journey to attain Enlightenment has led me to a new way of seeing. Questioning my thoughts has led me to trust a part of myself that I have not paid too much attention to. The Holy Spirit in my mind is the memory of God that I carry around — a Companion I am learning is far beyond my human understanding. God is defined by my current level of acceptance of these concepts I practice — to go beyond concept to acceptance and practical universal application, and to see enlightenment as a present moment focus and acceptance of Reality without my interpretation.
