We are not our bodies. Our bodies are not the host of God – or the One. We are One Mind, all of us and the One and inseparable. Our belief that we are this body we made is the idea that stands between us and other minds. Our minds are joined with all other minds, yet we do not identify with them. We see ourselves locked in a separate prison, removed and unreachable, incapable of reaching out to others as being reached by others. We hate this prison we have made, and would destroy it. But we would not escape from it, leaving it unharmed, without our guilt on it. We identify ourselves too closely with our body to see it for what it is. Yet our so-called body has a higher purpose in our journey. It can be used by Spirit as a learning device to help guide us back to the awareness of who we really are.
We are pure mind – nothing more and nothing less. Our body is a limit imposed on the universal communication that is an eternal property of mind. But the communication, though unlimited, is internal. Mind reaches only to itself. It is not made up of many different parts which reach out to each other. Within itself it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. It encompasses everything. It encompasses us entirely; us within it and it within us. There is nothing else, anywhere, ever. Mind is all there is and it is limitless, whole and complete. Mind needs nothing more, ever. Our belief that we are separate is the mistake in perception that made our body appear real to us and thus our identity of who we are. Then we projected our life story, whatever the story is, on our body, thus replacing the One Mind as our identity. This blocks us from the awareness of our true holy and divine essence that we are. We cannot be separate, for it is impossible to put a barrier between ourselves and our Creator because our Creator did not place one there.
You can stretch out your hand and reach to Heaven. You whose hand is joined with another’s have begun to reach beyond the body, but not outside yourself, to reach your shared Identity together. Could this be outside you? Where the One is not? Is the One a body, and did the One create you as the One is not, and where the One cannot be? You are surrounded only by the One – Oneness. What limits can there be on you whom the One encompasses? T-18.VI.10:1-7
We are Oneness. There is nothing else but Oneness. We are all Oneness as we join with each other and recognize that we all are the One Mind where communication is. Once we decide we want to return to the awareness of who we really are and be the peace and love we are, Spirit will guide our minds in healing. We need healing of nothing but our misperceptions of who we are and who our brothers and sisters are. As we allow Spirit to guide the healing of our thoughts, we join with each other in Oneness in the joy and peace and love that we truly are. We look beyond the body to the reality of our divine Identity, and there is much rejoicing in Oneness.
