I recently had to struggle through a period of intense emotional release, coupled with a lot of crying. It was triggered seemingly by father's day, inducing a grieving period and sense of loss, but it seemed to also move...
Let's clear this up.
For the entire time that you have a physical body with working eyeballs, you will physically see the physical world based on the laws of physics. The body functions biologically based on photons of light...
You may notice that all the times you refer to someone, you refer to their body almost exclusively. You barely have a notion of the person that doesn't in some way involve their body. You might even be surprised...
"Atonement heals with certainty, and cures all sickness."
"The body can be healed as an effect of true forgiveness. Only that can give remembrance of immortality, which is the gift of holiness and love."
Sounds like we need to...
"You are not sick, and you cannot die. But you CAN confuse your self with things that do."
"You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a world which shows no mercy to...
The nature of the mind is completely opposite to the nature of the body.
Mind is inclusive and expansive. It is everywhere and is shared by everyone. Everyone is one in mind. Mind is collective and joined. It reaches...
The body is very much the opposite of your reality as an immortal being. Your real self can never be changed, attacked, hurt or destroyed. But the body is defenseless, exposed and vulnerable, capable of destruction and utterly unsafe...
"The body is the symbol of WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE. It is clearly a separation device, and therefore does not exist."
The body is nothing. It's not something. It's not this or that or these states or conditions....
While we have an ego, we are not seeing reality directly. Instead, we lose track of the context or perspective of the whole, and enter into a kind of fictional private world. It becomes a private "version" of a...
If the body is unreal, and assigning reality to the unreality is something only the MIND does, how does the BODY make the world seem real?
"Only the body makes the world seem real."
Since the body is itself...
"The only VALID use of sex is procreation. It is NOT truly pleasurable in itself. "Lead us not into Temptation" means "Do not let us deceive ourselves into believing that we can relate in peace to God or our...
If a person - ie a body - does something wrong, and you focus on their body and what it did, you are being unforgiving. It isn't possible to keep focusing on the body and forgive the person. You can't...
"The goal of the curriculum, regardless of the teacher you choose, is KNOW THYSELF. There is nothing else to learn. Everyone is looking for himself and the power and glory he thinks he has lost. Whenever you are with...
Recognize this. The body was made to have permanently false perception. To be permanently unforgiving. It is absolutely incapable of ever forgiving anything. All it can do is sense what it detects seemingly in the world, and report it...
"Only the body makes the world seem real, for being separate it could not remain where separation is impossible.
Forgiveness proves it is impossible because it sees it not."
In the separation from God, we attempted to make a...
The body is entirely designed to look upon an illusory world and make it seem real. It is designed to take something unreal and give it seeming reality. To turn fantasy into fact and to experience its own unreality...
"Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate lives and go their separate ways."
"And if God created bodies, death would indeed be real."
On the one hand, it seems that people...
We can think of the body as a prison cell, and the ego as a prison guard and prisoner.
"The body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin made flesh, and then projected outward. This produces what SEEMS...
To put it simply, the nature of the mind is completely opposite to the nature of the body. Mind is of God, bodies are illusions. Mind functions naturally in a state of sharing, union, extension and oneness, driven by...
In God's Kingdom, each individual being is also all of the other beings. There is a shared oneness. Everyone is everyone.
"One brother is all brothers. Every mind contains all minds. Such is the truth." "The Sonship is your soul."
