More on Thinking I Know

So, I do not know what this body is for. In my story I thought it was for planting bulbs and seeds, for weeding unwanted plants. I thought is was for making meals, washing dishes and clothes, for cleaning the house. I thought it was for driving the car, for walking and talking; doing as I bid. So none of this is the truth. I asked: “Holy Spirit, what is this body for, what is your purpose for it?”

This came to mind: The ego’s use for the body is to make one feel or believe in smallness, weakness, vulnerability and being wholly alone. Holy Spirit uses the body for communication, for union of minds, for correction of poor thoughts.

In His perfect sight He sees the body as a tool or means for forgiving the mind, that had a mistaken thought. In each little thought that you let go, brings you ever closer to your only truth. In every circumstance that you choose to see innocence and love, you forgive the idea of separation. That is all the body is for.

Spirit told me: Dear one, every time you let go of a false idea, you are forgiving yourself. This is how you accept Atonement for yourself; atonement is forgiveness, the undoing of what never happened. In letting go of false ideas you come to know that you are free, being from Love and of Love. You are Love Itself.

Love waits for Welcome; if you are fearful then you cannot welcome Love. You cannot know what is going to happen “next” for your perceptions are based on a past that never was. You are only as Love created you, and this you have never changed, no matter what your dreams have shown you. (Forgive them their illusions means you are forgiving your illusions.)
