I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
I am the holy Son of God Himself
Today’s lesson reminds us that the cause of all of our problems is due to the fact that we let our thoughts tell us who we are. Examine the next statement you make to anyone; isn’t it a statement about who you think you are? Really, listen to the true content of your statement/conversation and see if this isn’t the gist of every statement we make.
Something I’ve started to do as often as I can remember is to ask myself, “what’s it for?” For example, when I have the thought, “I’m going to tell my friend what my other friend said.” Or “Everytime I book a flight, I feel that anybody else is more capable than I am in this matter.” What are these thoughts about? What are they for? They keep me from identifying with awareness-life-presence. NTI Matthew, Chapter 13 says, “you must know that your thoughts are born of fear… you must put down your thoughts of fear and turn away from its evidence. Through your consistent choice, I will give you my gift. For I cannot give against your choice, so I cannot give the gift of love if it is fear that you choose.”
“You are the holy Son of God Himself.” Identifying with what you are not is the cause of all your problems as well as being the cause of all your suffering. Because identifying with thought is the cause of all of your problems, identifying with awareness-life-presence is the answer to all of your problems. We fall short of living our truth and our joy if we continue to speak and act from mis-identifying thoughts.
