Realizing God's Will Is Oneness

In Defenselessness Is Safety

If I defend myself against sickness, I am attacked.  If I defend myself against terrorists, I am attacked.  If I defend myself against fire, flood, insults, any potential supposed tragedy large or small, I am attacked.  I make my fear real in my defenses.  This does not mean acting foolishly by ignoring the conditions ego has made in the world.  This does not mean recklessly courting danger or harm in rebellion.  Thinking the body is invincible is the same as thinking it vunerable, because they both make the body a center of focus, important, real.  The body is none of these things.

In defenselessness my safety lies.  I can walk in the body life while being at peace, feeling safe, not anticipating harm in fear.  And if harm comes, what matter does it make in truth.  In truth there is no body to be harmed or injured.  There is nothing to protect.  My true life is only of Spirit.  In Spirit I walk only in wholeness and peace.  I can choose this awareness and live from this perspective.  This means I live in healing no matter what physical conditions surround me or appear in the body.

From my subconscious I may be projecting attack onto the body, but I do not need to defend my body against it.  Fear attacking the body is as nothing attacking nothing.  I can observe it, acknowledge the ego mind at work, and give it all to Holy Spirit for healing.  I do not need to feel guilty that I caused the attack from fear, especially when my conscious giving symptoms over to Holy Spirit does not make for immediate change in a body condition.  The place where I live in my mind is being healed and that is all that is important.  There is much fear and guilt in the subconscious mind, and if I defend myself against its manifestation, I am attacked.

With Holy Spirit’s help, I can see that the subconscious fear is not real, it is nothing to concern myself with.  I merely give all I see with body eyes over to Holy Spirit for healing.  I let Him guide me to the truth, the healing perspective, that I am in reality healed, whole, peace and nothing else.  In this I find the strength to walk unafraid of all I experience in the body life.  I accept the ego thought as false, that is all.  It is as simple at that.  I remember that I am peace and perfection as God created me and nothing can change that.  The rememberance alone brings the awareness of peace and wholeness.  There is no other way to achieve peace than to remember its presence and live in that awareness.  There is nothing I can do or say to get peace in the world.  All I can do is remember it is already mine and already there for everyone.  My remembering helps others to remember.

As I read of government defense bunkers of information gathering, defense bunkers against bombs and chemicals, defensive economic strategies, weapons of mass destruction, I see the madness of the ego at work generating more layers of fear.  Fear spinning farther reaching webs of fear to catch us and roll us in a paralyzed ball of confused thought.  All to defend the body which doesn’t exist except in illusion.  We do not have to fly into this web.  We can affirm the truth for ourselves and our brother.  My remembering that I am peace and only peace, safe and only safe, helps my brother to remember as well that this is his truth.

I may not see a physical change in circumstances or events immediately, but this does not mean that healing is not occuring.  I leave to Holy Spirit the fulfillment of God’s plan of Atonement.  I am willing to do my part by remembering who I am and who my brother is.  We don’t need to defend ourselves because we are not attacked.  We remain one in God.  We live in peace.  We only love all we are.  We share our experience of God and we know Him in perfect confidence of our safety always.  This is our true reality and when we dwell in this thought, this reality is ours.  It will live for us.
