A New Way to See

Pain Is Not My Function

My partner often likes to catch the TV weather in the morning. After turning off the set, he had made a comment about not knowing if I was attached to (watching) the TV this morning; to which I responded: I am mistakeningly attached to my body.  He then said something like “we could handle that”—and the thought popped into my mind: Being attached to a body is not a sin!  (Whew! thank you Spirit!)

The following are insights I received after we read Lesson 102: I share God’s Will for happiness for me. (the first 2 ¶s refer to (define) pain).

Pain is not a solution, it pays for nothing. Pain does not save me from God’s punishment or vengeance. Pain is perception that I can escape God’s wrath, by paying for my sin.

But there is no sin! Sin is only an impossible thought. What never happened can have no effects—- yet my belief in what never happened has made illusions appear real. Sin is not real—-and the pain that I use to pay my way out of it, is not real either.

Pain is no solution; pain does not buy me freedom, it does not “save” me. Pain is another defense against the truth. It denies that Love is real, it denies that I am spirit. Pain denies that I am safe and healed and whole; a holy Son of God, one with my Source, forever loved AND loving.

I now see another healing in the WB lessons revolving around “I am not a body.”
I am not a body = There is no sin!
I am free = having no cause, sin has no effect.
I am still as God created me = Nothing else is true. My sinlessness is guaranteed by Love.

Me: Dear Spirit, thank you again for your healing words. I share God’s Will for happiness because it is the only thing I can do—- everything else is a false dream based on what never happened. I can let this go. How glad I am that my Comforter is always with me, giving me correction for my mistaken beliefs.
