We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If we look very carefully at this excerpt from our special theme, we will see that one answer to the question, \u201cWhat am I?\u201d is, \u201cI am not a divine <em>individual<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some students of <em>A Course in Miracles<\/em>\u00a0make the mistake of thinking of themselves as a divine individual. In other words, they believe the world is a projection of their individual mind. When they believe this mistaken idea, they also think that as they heal as an individual, all ego appearances will disappear from the world.<\/p>\n<p>However, let\u2019s look closely at what our special theme says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, <strong>which through our <u>joint forgiveness<\/u> is redeemed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a young teen, my favorite Bible scripture was Isaiah 11:6-9. It says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The wolf will live with the lamb,<br \/>\nthe leopard will lie down with the goat,<br \/>\nthe calf and the lion and the yearling\u00a0together;<br \/>\nand a little child will lead them.<br \/>\nThe cow will feed with the bear,<br \/>\ntheir young will lie down together,<br \/>\nand the lion will eat straw like the ox.<br \/>\nThe infant\u00a0will play near the cobra\u2019s den,<br \/>\nand the young child will put its hand into the viper\u2019s\u00a0nest.<br \/>\nThey will neither harm nor destroy<br \/>\non all my holy mountain,<br \/>\nfor the earth\u00a0will be filled with the knowledge\u00a0of the\u00a0Lord<br \/>\nas the waters cover the sea.<\/p>\n<p>My religion at the time was Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses. They taught that Satan would be destroyed in a battle described in the book of Revelation. After Satan\u2019s destruction, the Earth would become the paradise that God intended in the beginning, before Adam and Even ate of the tree of knowledge. Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses called the renewed paradise the \u201cnew world.\u201d I was taught that this scripture described what the new world would be like.<\/p>\n<p>Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses are not that far off with this portion of their religious understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Since the ego is the cause of all suffering, all suffering must end when the self-centered ego ends. However, the self-centered ego is not in the mind of one individual alone. The self-centered ego is in the mind of humankind. It is our \u201cjoint forgiveness\u201d that could result in the reflection this scripture points to.<\/p>\n<p>We each need to participate in our individual awakening, because humankind\u2019s \u201cjoint forgiveness\u201d appears to happen one individual at a time. As an analogy, let\u2019s imagine the individuals in humankind as cells in one brain, the brain of humankind. As healing and awakening spreads through the brain, individual brain cells are renewed and freed of cancerous darkness. When the healing has spread through the entire brain, healing and renewal are complete.<\/p>\n<p>As individuals, we are each like a cell in the symbolic brain of humankind. We have been called to the spiritual path, because it is our turn to be healed and renewed as part of the broader awakening. However, the awakening isn\u2019t complete until all cells have been healed and renewed. As long as ego remains in some cells within the mind of humankind, the projection that comes from the mind will continue to include appearances that come from the ego.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose; to be given Christ to use to bless the world with miracles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please read today\u2019s workbook lesson in full.
