This lesson says something very important. \u201c\u2026 how simple is salvation.\u201d<\/p>\n
How many senseless things have seemed to be your salvation?\u00a0 Our concept of salvation has led us to select some things above all else because we believe that what we select will save us from unhappiness or discomfort or pain or even death.\u00a0 Today’s lesson tells us the things we seem to select have imprisoned us. We think we need to get them by either the laws of the world or through divine intervention. Either idea is the same mistake. The mistake stems from a fundamental error, the belief that we are bodies.<\/p>\n
If we’ll just watch our minds for one day, we will see all the things we avoid or do to protect our bodies.\u00a0 We buy health insurance.\u00a0 We buy extended warranties.\u00a0 We cultivate special relationships and work to keep others at bay.\u00a0 We buy creams and pills and vitamins.\u00a0 We buy homes in certain neighborhoods so our children will be exposed to certain things and avoid others.\u00a0 We buy some medicines in advance just in case we might need the remedy.<\/p>\n
The list of laws that we follow goes on and on in the name of protecting our bodies. This lesson calls our quest for salvation \u201cmagic.\u201d\u00a0 Magic is the medicine we take, the salve we rub on our bodies and the protective clothing we wear.\u00a0 Magic is the ego’s means of protecting the body, but this lesson tells us that magic imprisons, but God’s laws free us.<\/p>\n
How do God’s laws free us?\u00a0 Because we are no longer imprisoned when we accept that “what [magic] is meant to save does not exist. [And o]nly what [magic] is meant to hide will save you.\u201d\u00a0 Magic is meant to hide the fact that we are so much more than our limited concepts. We are One with All That Is.<\/p>\n
Salvation is not divine intervention to receive the cures and fixes we think we need in order to be happy. Salvation is seeing beyond the belief that I am a body-mind. Salvation is realizing what I am, something real that cannot be threatened.<\/p>\n
Today, when practicing \u201cI am under no laws but God\u2019s\u201d do not practice with the idea in place that you still need magic, except now you want the magic to come from God. Instead, begin to wonder, \u201cWhat are God’s laws?\u201d \u201cWhat am I?\u201d Let truth whisper into your mind and shine in your awareness.<\/p>\n
See how simple salvation is. Absolutely nothing has to change. You only need to realize what you are, which is present and available to be seen in this very moment. Salvation need not wait on anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
