ACIM~Lesson 269

Loaded to Redbubble 26 September 2018 ~ Dedicated To: THIS forgiveness Lesson of all the Lessons! STOP and contemplate what THIS LESSON instructs. 'Go forth and see every face you encounter as Christ's Face.' Be with this. ~ ACIM~Lesson 269 "My sight goes forth to look upon Christ's face." . 'I ask Your blessing on my sight today. It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes, and look beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me, and through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a world forgiven, in which everyone shows me the face of Christ, and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me; that nothing is, except Your holy Son.' . Today our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision, as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God; of Him Who is our own Identity. : ~~~ ~~~ . The "Instruction" ('What Is the BODY?') will be copied into the "Artist's Description" right after each new Lesson is provided, even though you are instructed to read the "Instruction" again prior to each of the 10 Lessons that follow it. . ~ What Is the BODY? Introduction to Lessons 261 - 270 . The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self from other parts. It is within this fence he thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love. Identifying with his safety, he regards himself as what his safety is. How else could he be certain he remains within the body, keeping love outside? . The body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double safety. For the Son of God's impermanence is "proof" his fences work, and do the task his mind assigns to them. For if his oneness still remained untouched, who could attack and who could be attacked? Who could be victor? Who could be his prey? Who could be victim? Who the murderer? And if he did not die, what "proof" is there that God's eternal Son can be destroyed? . The body is a dream. Like other dreams it sometimes seems to picture happiness, but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose that the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for. . The body is the means by which God's Son returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother, and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill. . You will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth, and not in lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with love, and you are safe. Identify with love, and you are home. Identify with love, and find your Self." : ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is an excerpt from the last paragraph of the Introduction to PART II which is relevant to the question; "What Is the BODY?". . From time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which should come afterwards. These special thoughts (What Is... ?) should be reviewed each day, each one of them to be continued till the next is given you. They should be slowly read and thought about a little while, preceding one of the holy and blessed instants in the day. Then the next of these instructions (What Is...?) is provided. ~~~ ~~~ A Course in Miracles/Workbook for Students/Introduction to Workbook Part II: Following the 'Introduction to Part II' will be all the Redbubble day by day loads of all the balance of the Lessons from 221 to 365. Valuable information and approaches to these concluding Lessons is contained in this Introduction, so it will be copied at the end of all 14 of the 'Special Thoughts' (What is...?) at the beginning of the next series of 10 Lessons; and put near the end of "Artist's Description". . As stated before, REPETITION can be a valuable method of reaching the goals of this Course. : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .
