Miracles Lesson 199: “I am not a body. I am free.”

This lesson brilliantly brings this to light, “I am not a body. I am free. I hear the Voice that God has given me, and only this my mind obeys.”

I am infinitely grateful that the Course explains how I and we are not at all incorporated with our bodies.

Our egos show us pain, disasters, death, and despair as a body. Our egos convince us that our bodies are real and unavoidable, so we have to suffer in them for as long as we live on earth, which completely sucks and makes me not want to let this happen.

The Course explains that as convincing as our egos are, they are wrong, and we are not stuck in our bodies, so we do not have to suffer as much as we live.

We need to be willing to gain the awareness that our bodies are not real; therefore, they have zero possibility of upsetting us as long as we remember that since they are unreal they have no power to disturb our peace.

As long as we watch our minds and do not go into terrible woes about our bodies because this is a pointless waste of energy because, being unreal, they can not affect our minds and bodies.

We have to be willing to play our parts and make sure we do not let our egos convince us our bodies are real, so we never get to a place of upset about them.

The Course reminds us we need to also forgive our bodies for being insane, and then since they are unreal, they can not bother us. Forgiveness is the most important thing we can bring to our minds whenever we get convinced there is no way to escape our bodies.

The Course says forgiveness is when we bring Love to the world. We look in the world, find dysfunctional situations and bring forgiveness to them.

Forgiveness is God’s Love as miracles resolving all of our suffering in the world or any hell in our bodies. So we must make forgiveness our one go-to where we apply forgiveness to all calls for Love in the world so they no longer cause us pain. Miracles are magical.

They heal all. We must remember to bring them and apply them heartily, so the world of woe disappears entirely.

All Love,
