Lesson 114
(97) I am spirit.
(98) I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.
These lessons have been very supportive of my desire to know my Self. This morning, I started my meditation with greater anticipation than before. I know I am not this body no matter how much it sometimes feels like I am. I am spirit and cannot be limited because God created me unlimited. I am the Son of God. What an extraordinary thing to know when for so long I saw myself as so much less. Today, I will focus on my function, which is to simply accept God’s Word that I am as He created me.
My Contemplation
I am the Son of God, God the Son. Can a God also be a body? Can a God also be limited? It must be that I am not what I seem to be as this body/personality. Am I in this body or is this body in me? Is it a thought in the mind of which I am aware? Could I shift my awareness to something else? If I did, would the body cease to be or would others who value this body sustain it in their awareness until I returned my attention to it?
Or perhaps I dreamed up this story of a body long ago and I am just remembering it now, thinking about it, keeping it “alive” in my mind through my memories, “an ancient memory I have placed before my eyes.”
How do I shift my mind from the body to what I am? Perhaps it is a matter of placing my attention on my Self as the foreground and with the body-self in the back ground. Then I could place my attention on the body-self bringing it into the foreground, with my Self in the background. Shifting my attention back and forth until it is easy and natural and until I comfortably keep the Self foremost in my sight and the ego self a bit in the background, never confusing the two again. Could that be it?
Regina’s Tips
Sometimes when wisdom begins to flow, it isn’t immediately brilliant to me. The first few words that appear may seem uninteresting or unorganized. I remember I’ve promised not to judge what comes, and I start writing whatever comes. This seems to open the flow more, and soon I have perfect wisdom for me now. And that’s really all it has to be … the perfect wisdom for me now.
If what comes feels like something that is good for you to focus on today, that’s it. That’s the wisdom. Don’t expect anything else. All you really need is today’s “daily bread.” Today’s daily bread, one day at a time, will take you all the way to the top of the mountain.
My Thoughts
My contemplation was a little different today. I contemplated through questioning possibilities. At first, I had the thought that this was going nowhere, that I am looking for answers not more questions. But then I decided to trust the inner wisdom that was making itself known in this way. Maybe I need to let the questions rest in my mind to see what bubbles up during the day.
