THE BODYS FUNCTION [Text] The central lesson is always this; that what you use the body for it will become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it is sinful it is weak, and being weak, it suffers and it dies. Use it to bring the Word of God to those who have it not, and the body becomes holy. Because it is holy it cannot be sick, NOR CAN IT DIE. And Im going to tell you something. The developing belief that “A Course in Miracles doesnt have anything to do with physical healing” is exactly what keeps you from experiencing physical healing. Not only is the idea being expressed that its not essential for there to be a physical healing if there is a mental regeneration around the issue embodied in the disease or the injury, it is becoming a strong belief that physical healing should not be associated in your minds with what A Course In Miracles is about. Wrong! What I want to express very clearly tonight is stop blocking the experience of healing, physically speaking, by adopting an attitude that such a thing has no relevance to what A Course In Miracles is teaching. You can block the experience of healing, but you cannot make it a fact that physical healing has nothing to do with sudden shifts of perception, miracles, and everything that the Course is illuminating. Begin to embrace the expectation of actual improvement, physically speaking, in your lives. [Text] An alliance Between the body and the ego. It is an alliance frankly based on separation. If you SIDE with this alliance you WILL be afraid, because you are siding with an alliance of fear.... The ego and the body… Meaning the ego and its misperception of What Is Real About You . . . [Text] . . .conspire AGAINST your minds, and because the ego realizes that its enemy CAN end them both merely by knowing they are NOT part of him,… Meaning the ego and the egos misperception of your body which it is using . . . [Text] … they join in the attack together. This does not, again, mean that this body that the ego is perceiving has a capacity to act on its own. Its that the claim to authority which the ego puts forth, tries to confuse and fool you about, is used by the ego to cause your body to convey to you the egos messages. In that way they work together, but understand that there is no body existing, divinely or illusorily, that has a capacity to govern or influence.. It is your bodys function to identify you perfectly. It is your servant. It is the servant of That which is divine in you, ultimately meaning God. It has no capacity to act on its own. It only has the capacity to perfectly reflect that which it is identifying. And the only thing that it is identifying at any time is the Presence of God individualized and identified as you.. Its very important for this understanding of body to register with you, and to be embraced by you, and to be honored by you, because only in that way will you bring forth the willingness to let go of any lesser definitions of it that you have been embracing for fear that if you didnt embrace it, you would die. In other words, if you did… if you dont embrace the thought that it is a body brought into existence by a sperm and an egg, made out of matter, which has a given lifespan and will naturally and inevitably begin to decay and ultimately die, if you are not willing to abandon that context, that definition, and all the beliefs associated with it, you will not be able to come into a transformed perspective and experience of body in which healing is inevitable, regeneration and redemption, the coming back into the spiritual, the coming back into the experience of the spiritual original of what your body is.. But if youre going to wake up, if youre going to be released from the trap the ego has created, youre going to have to step out of the box. Youre going to have to be willing to reach outside your definitions. Youre going to have to let new Meanings, with a capital M, in.. ~excerpt from ACIM Study Group with Raj/Jesus 2/8/2004 conducted by the Northwest Foundation for ACIM nwffacim.wordpress FaceBook: https://facebook/groups/183859725130360/ Now I am present with and available to every single one of you, everyone at every moment. And so it is my intent in being with groups of people like this to make this fact known and by Pauls presence and demeanor also convey the fact that my being available doesnt require of anyone any special talent, because Paul is about as regular as anyone else on this planet and has no special talent in order to hear me. Does that clarify that for you? For those of you who are students of A Course In Miracles, I will take this opportunity to point out that my time spent with Helen Schucman was also not a special instance. And although there have been some expressions of the fact, or the idea-not the fact-the idea that everyone else cant expect the same sort of relationship with me or with Guidance that she experienced, is untrue. It is an attempt to elevate her, and to elevate the Course into a false position of religious respect, whether it is stated that way or not. All of the activities of the Northwest Foundation for A Course In Miracles are provided without charge or obligation. This is possible because of thoughtfulness, love extended without conditions. Such is the nature of Gift. As a result these materials are available to you, because someone like you has already gifted you with them. And, at Rajs instruction, these materials will never be sold. If you would like to add your thoughtfulness and love, to gift others with the availability of these materials, please contact nwffacim.org -----oOo-----
