Yesterday we saw that the miracle is what you are, and light is awareness. Your truth is known in awareness. Today we learn what strength is. Strength is the natural beneficence of awareness. Beneficence and awareness are one.<\/p>\n
The idea that you are a body in a world of other bodies is false. In today\u2019s workbook lesson, this idea is called \u201cweakness.\u201d<\/p>\n
The best way to overcome the \u201cI am a body\u201d weakness is by focusing attention on awareness (strength). As one pays attention to awareness, the sense of true Self grows stronger. As the sense of true Self grows stronger, the idea \u201cI am a body\u201d begins to fade.<\/p>\n
This is why we practice awareness-watching-awareness meditation as part of our daily practice. Today\u2019s lesson gives us two 20-minute opportunities to practice awareness-watching-awareness meditation.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s lesson also introduces a new opportunity to pay attention to awareness, a method that can be practiced throughout the day everyday no matter where you are or what you are doing.<\/p>\n
If you pay careful attention to yourself, you will see when you believe \u201cI am a body.\u201d Some of the symptoms of this belief are judgment, condemnation, fear, attack, self-hatred and a sense of being separate from everyone and everything outside of your body.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s lesson asks us to shift our attention from that weakness (\u201cI am a body\u201d) to strength (awareness). We are asked to repeat today\u2019s workbook lesson to our self throughout the day today. To really maximize the benefit, it is helpful to linger for a few seconds after repeating the workbook lesson. Simply linger in a relaxed state and notice awareness (isness, aliveness).<\/p>\n
Since this is an important new practice, here\u2019s a short video that teaches how to do that:<\/p>\n
