WB Lesson 136

This is what stood out to me in this lesson.

“CliffsNotes”

The aim of all defenses is to keep the truth from being whole. Defenses make facts unrecognizable.

Sickness “proves” the body is not separate from you, and so you must be separate from the truth. Thus is the body stronger then truth, ..... Yet who believes illusions but the one who make them up?

God knows not of your plan to change His Will. Defenses are plans to defeat what cannot be attacked. Truth wants to give you happiness, for such its purpose is. Truth has a power far beyond defense, for no illusions can remain where truth has been allowed to enter.

(Practice) Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am, and let my mind be wholly healed today.

If I let my mind harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgments, or make plans against uncertainties to come, I have again mistaken myself, and made a bodily identity in which I will attack the body, for my mind is sick. My instant remedy is to tell myself:
I have forgotten what I really am, for I mistook my body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth. But I am not a body. And my mind cannot attack. So I cannot be sick.
