These teachings, offered for your healing, awakening and illumination of mind are centred around the correction of the major mis-identification of the self with the body. The greatest lesson offered is to perceive the body correctly, and to no longer be held hostage to its limitations and the beliefs that are anchored in this unreasonable view. We will be examining the record, the mind, the dynamics that uphold the lie that the body is the self. We provide practices aimed at freeing the mind and empowering the decision-maker to understand the issue, the difficulties and the simplicity of the solution. It is the greatest undertaking, to see the obstacle as self-made and without meaning. It takes great learning, vigilance and clarity of mind. Yet each holy instant contains our escape from illusions and freedom from suffering, the unfortunate mis-identification with illusions as real brings. God’s peace and joy are ours in the unlimited nature of the reality of our true identity in Christ. This knowledge is our salvation from continuing dreams, awakening the certainty of Spirit as the immortal nature of the One Self.
“The body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very little segment of Heaven, splintered from the whole, proclaiming that within it is your kingdom, where God can enter not.” ACIM T.18.VIII.2
Beyond the body is the resurrection and the reality of immortal life. It is not found in anything that can be perceived, or conceived of. Yet the reality of the Self that is not divided, separated and bounded by a wall of flesh, is your divine inheritance. It can be known by all who desire to go beyond the petty ways of the world of bodies, limitations, suffering and death. Now is the time of awakening as we seek to see the light beyond the body, to reach out and experience the holy truth of this instant of release. For all those who would arise in Christ, their lessons of forgiveness teach the mind directly about the mind. It has suffered for so long having identified with what can suffer, the limited and ephemeral, and with the world which upholds the laws of the body.
When asked by the Scribe of the Course about the resurrection, Jesus answered, “my body disappeared because I no longer held any illusions about it.” So, for the individual aspirant, the student of miracles, it would be perfectly fair to state that the purpose of the plan of salvation is to relinquish the belief the body has any value or existence. In effect it takes great learning (“unlearning”) to understand and to accept the body’s nothingness. In this lesson lies the separation of our minds from the fundamental illusion on which the ego rests. It’s the lesson that removes the fear of redemption and clears the way to approach the innermost altar to holiness where the Father and the Son are one in perfect union with Creation.
“The body is outside you, and but seems to surround you, shutting you off from others and keeping you apart from them, and them from you. It is not there. There is no barrier between God and His Son, nor can His Son be separated from Himself except in illusions. This is not his reality, though he believes it is.“ACIM T.18.VI.9
Illuminate Mind Foundation offers a continuing programme of instruction in the teachings and practices of A Course in Miracles, designed to foster the awakening of the light in which we find our freedom to utilize the means to go beyond the body, to overlook the fundamental illusion and join in the golden light of Christ where our salvation lies.
God’s love is all around us and His grace is ours as we look to the divinely organized Atonement curriculum of A Course in Miracles, and undertake to learn the happy lessons of true forgiveness which lead us back to where we are at Home in the Present State, which is the Heaven of His perfect love. Amen!
