More Judging the Body

Dear Everyone, The following thoughts came to me the past couple of mornings.


As long as I condemn the body—I am making it real.
Glorifying or condemning it—- are the same (just like pleasure and pain) It is illusion.
It is trying to keep the darkness and adjusting it to the light. This tries to make the darkness real, in place of accepting the light as real and taking the dark to the light.                  I can never ever (ever, ever, ever) make illusions real.
By wanting to make illusions real, I must realize, somewhere in my mind, that my illusions are false and not justifiable in any form. Part of my mind knows that illusions are the childish playing of a thought that made itself god of the universe.


When I judge the body as inferior, (or defective) I’m mistaking my self as a body. My dream image is not what I am. This image is not the only thing that I “know.”                        I have the memory of my true Self in my mind, the Spirit that is whole, innocent, pure in every definition because I remain as Love created me.

“What I resist” has many connotations and gets reflected back to me in the dream.  What I resist I draw to me—- this is what attracts me to certain bodies in the insane attempt to redo my past, to “prove” my value to another body. If I loath some attribute or idea, the truth is I believe I have that quality in me. I hold guilt about that quality because I have mistaken some love-less thought as real and part of me.

Any thought that is without love, is meaningless—- but in my sick mind I do not recognize the truth. What I resist, I am fearful of and have rejected. I have tried to project what I fear, and it then appears to me as some form in the outside world.  But all the while it remains in my mind, pushed down to the unconscious. The way to get out of the vicious circle, is to invite Holy Spirit in and join with Him. I allow His sight and understanding to replace my projection; I allow the undoing of a love-less idea. Letting go of my ideas—is the letting go of fear, the meaningless thoughts that induce more fear and separation. My attempt to redo what never happened has kept a separation perception going. This misperception has given me guilt.

    Even though I can “see” this intellectually, on some days I find much resistence to asking H.S. in and allowing His healing perception to replace those love-less ideas. It seems that the sick ideas are all I want….. which is of course, the ego mind. No wonder, I need consistent practice with my true Guide, to remember the Truth about Love and my Self.
