Lesson 267 –
My heart is beating in the peace of God.
The question for this section of lessons addresses, “What is the body?” The Course teaches us that the body is not real, an illusion made to reinforce our belief in separation. Yet, the body can have a holy purpose. It can be a learning device that helps us realize we are not separate at all. Learning to perceive the body correctly helps us perceive the world correctly, too. We can view the world around us and our body through its holy purpose rather than its separation purpose. When we choose to see with holy eyes rather than separation eyes, we see holiness and holy purpose.
Surrounding me is all the life that Source created in Source’s Love. It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every breath; in every action and in every thought. Peace fills my heart, and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath infuses me with strength. I am a messenger of Source, directed by Source’s Voice, sustained by Source in love, and held forever quiet and at peace within Source’s loving Arms. Each heartbeat calls Source’s Name, and every one is answered by Source’s Voice, assuring me I am at home in Source. W-pII.267.1:1-7
Sometimes we may feel trapped in this world. It may appear that we are at its mercy, a victim of all its circumstances. Connecting with our higher inner Spirit, some call our higher holy Spirit, allow us to see the world and its circumstances beyond their appearances. We always have a choice whether or not to see differently. A fresh look guided by Spirit can often make a big difference in our state of mind. At this time, the world may appear very challenging. Yet, a new understanding, a new interpretation, may help us cope with these challenges. Looking through the eyes of Source will give us the understanding we need or the patience and strength we need to cope. The presence of love and peace within us rises to our hearts and minds as we allow our Oneness to enfold our thinking. This lesson offers this prayer to help us focus:
Let me attend Your Answer, not my own. Source, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love created. It is there and only there that I can be at home. W-pII.267.2:1-3
Let your heart and mind return home to its awareness in Oneness where all is One. Peace and Love are found here. This is our true home in Heaven while in the world. It is available now just for our willingness to step into the awareness of who we really are. We are One with Source. We are Source. We can stop fighting the world and ourselves and rest in our Source in peace and love. May our beating heart remind us of our holiness and the awareness of who we really are. Let it be so.
