Undoing illusions: ACIM teachings .A finger points to the moon. Part 1 deals with conceptualisation, which is not the same as knowing. This part deals with misinterpreting the data we see.
The body is a glove worn by the soul to make it visible.The soul is divine energy, like the breath of god.The identity is a definition that allows the whole to experience itself as seperate from the rest of life.Divine energy is love because it sees only itself everywhere.
But if I am not a body, what is this body that I am aware off through the sences, through which I seem to be a person having an experience of living in a material world?
Hi Jorge, thanks! You are right. What i mean is , i am not just a vw golf owner.Everyone knows me by my body/vehicle, that is the illusion.I am just as god created me inthe sense that i am a thought in the mind of god.I see that as an energetic definition, a blue print.The body is like a glove puppet worn by the soul.Even my name Dave refers to my body, even my personalitty is the not i.The distinction is that i own a body/personality, but i am neither.Amen thanks and love to you.
Lesson 199 states "I am not a body. I am free." which is an entirely different message from yours when you state "I am not just a body. Here the enphasis is "just" which implies that I am a body but besides being a body I am something else. In the course Jesus says "I am not a body "(period) I am free. What would it be?
