Today’s review idea:
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
I am not a body. I am free.
It is the idea of the body that enslaves us and separates us from one another. Without the idea of a body, why would we need to go to work? Harvest the crops? Mow the grass? Pay the rent? Or send the kids to college?
Lesson 199 says, ” Without the power to enslave, [ the body ] is a worthy servant of the freedom which the mind within the Holy Spirit seeks.”
Abstraction is our true state of mind, but that has been blocked from our awareness by a mind that thinks in specifics. Forgiveness turns the mind back to awareness. In awareness abstraction becomes the known and form and specifics are forgotten.
