I am Not a Body

I am not a body: 

it's so often repeated as a theme through the course, a complete denial of the body, and it's always been a more difficult lesson for me for I am firmly grounded in this identity. Throughout the workbook I am reminded that this body is but a temporary appearance in eternity, yes, to be respected and treated kindly, but not to give it more worth than it ultimately deserves. 

I am not a body.

and yet I have traveled far with this illusion, scars remind my of adventures and painful encounters. It's certainly hard to not believe in the solidness of this form. What I'm asked to do is to look further and deeper than ever before, not praying for release, but just to be able to see a greater truth than my body shows alone. 

seeing is my release. 

to know that I am not a body is true insight, meaning I've looked within and found the emptiness of form, a miracles of appearance that temporarily holds awareness. A Course in Miracles reminds me that Love has created me like itself and that all that is not eternal, the frailness of body, are but a brief lesson to be realized and let go. I am kind to my body, as well as others, because I've been created by kindness. My true and only body is formless. 

I am made of Love.

of light. 

and my only real purpose here...

is to give myself away.

Love, Eric
