Lesson 204 – Review of Lesson 184
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
(184) The Name of God is my inheritance.
God’s Name reminds me that I am God’s Child, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and forever one with God.
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. W-pI.204.1:1-5
This lesson continues to remind me that we are all One. Oneness is all there is. We and God are inseparable. There is no division, no separation. All that is we share entirely. This is the reason there is no lack. This is the reason we are whole, holy and limitless. We have been seeking this awareness, but have been looking for it in separation. Our belief that we are separate and that we don’t have everything we need.
Oneness is our inheritance. It is there for us whenever we are willing to allow it into our awareness. Oneness is Reality. Separation is an illusion. While we are on our journey with no distance back to the awareness of who we really are, the world of form will serve a purpose as a means to learn there is no separation. It sounds crazy, but by opening our mind to the Oneness of all Creation we allow ourselves to be in the realm of Heaven while we walk the earth. We walk here as an example – a teacher – for all we encounter. The closing paragraphs and prayer of Lesson 184 remind us.
No one can fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of God. Experience must come to supplement the Word. But first you must accept the Name for all reality, and realize the many names you gave its aspects have distorted what you see, but have not interfered with truth at all. One Name we bring into our practicing. One Name we use to unify our sight. W-pI.184.13:1-4
And though we use a different name for each awareness of an aspect of God’s Child, we understand that they have but one Name, which the Creator has given them. It is this Name we use in practicing. And through Its use, all foolish separations disappear which kept us blind. And we are given strength to see beyond them. Now our sight is blessed with blessings we can give as we receive. W-pI.184.14:1-5
The prayer we may offer:
Creator, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things, and You Who are their one Creator. What we made and call by many different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your Own reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved from all effects our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give, in place of every one of them. Your Name is our salvation and escape from what we made. Your Name unites us in the oneness which is our inheritance and peace. Amen. W-pI.184.15:1-9
