Hello Everyone,
Today I am very glad for today’s WB lesson, #80. It reminds me that I am under no laws but God’s; that I am part of perfect innocence, part of unending Love. I share with you thoughts that came to me before reading the lesson, and following the lesson.
I am not a body. I am as Spirit created me. The only thought that needs correcting is that separation is real. This idea has made the world I “see,” the bodies and other forms around the “me” I mistake for my self.
If I would simply give up the thought of separation, this thought would be healed. The Course teaches that Healing will wait until I no longer view it as a threat or curse. As long as I think that something outside of “me” can harm me, I have chosen illusion and rejected truth. As long as I think I can decide on my own, I will be in the illusion of fear. Thoughts leave not their source. My insane thoughts are in my mind, showing me the fear and hate I try to hide. It is only in my mind that healing and forgiveness can happen. The only problem that I seem to have, is the belief that I made my self apart from God/Love.
“Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.” “Let me recognize my problems have been solved.”
My only problem has been solved! My only problem has been solved! There is no separation——it is a false belief. There is no world occupied by separate bodies——my only problem has been solved. What seems as real around me is an illusion of guilt. The guilt is not real because the cause for it never happened. My only problem has been solved for I never departed from my Source. As Love created me, so I remain. My only problem has been solved!
[Spirit] Wait not one instant more—-Choose Love and you are free! Free from your dreaming, freed of mistaken beliefs. Follow Love, teach only love to learn that you are Love! This is your part in God’s plan for saving you—-and your brothers.
Spirit recently brought my attention to a place in the text, pages 151-154, that I share below. I found it helpful for a shift in my perception.
“Communication ends separation.”
“Healing is the result of using the body solely for communication.”
“Help and healing are the normal expressions of a mind that is working through a body, but not in it.” [My interpretation} By blocking it’s own extension beyond the body, the mind will induce illness by fostering separation. If the mind believes the body is its goal, it will distort its perception of the body. Perceiving the body as a separate entity can only foster illness, because it is not true. To use a medium of communication as a medium of attack is an obvious confusion in purpose.
Perception of the body can be unified only by one purpose. This releases the mind from the temptation to see the body in many lights——- giving it over entirely to the One Light. “Only if the mind extends to other minds and not arrest itself, can learning lead beyond the body and re-establish the power of the mind. The arrest is the cause of all illness, because only extension is the mind’s function. [To extend is to love.]
“There is no attack,but there is unlimited communication and therefore unlimited power and wholeness. The power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this world, and you will open your mind to creation in God.”
[Me] My only purpose here is to extend communication to other minds that think they are separate. The message to send is that they are without guilt (not one spot of guilt mars their perfect innocence). I forgive their illusions and thus release my illusions. To give and receive are the same. I will not waste another moment by trying to make the ego’s plan for salvation work. Only God’s plan for salvation works. My brother is the holy Son of God, complete and healed and whole. He is my savior from my illusions. It is my will to forgive (love) and be happy. I choose to be happy!
