Lesson 266 My Holy Self Abides In You, God’s Son

PART II. SECTION 5: WHAT IS THE BODY?

Lesson 266 My Holy Self Abides In You, God’s Son

Father, You gave me all Your Sons, to be my saviors and my counselors in sight; the bearers of Your holy Voice to me. In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ look back upon me from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. Let not Your Son forget his holy Source. Let not Your Son forget his name is Yours.
This day we enter into paradise, calling upon God’s Name and on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of us; united in the holy Love of God. How many saviors God has given us! How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the world with those who point to Him, and given us the sight to look on them?[1]

Notes and Personal Application In our prayer today we recognize all of Creation as being savior and counselor. We recognize the voice for God in all. In Creation we see a reflection of God’s love, in Creation we see the reflection of our true and holy Selves. We put down our separateness and take up our oneness with God. We step out of the body that would encase us and hold us apart from one another, and we step into the Source, the holy Mind and Consciousness that brings us all together. We no longer identify with our bodies or call ourselves humanity; we identify with our Holy Father and take His name and accept our rightful place in paradise.

When we stand with Christ, we stand as one. We act then as saviors to one another. When we give our human eyes to the Lord in exchange for the vision of Christ, we see that everything that happens to us, every circumstance, every event, every interaction becomes touched by holiness and serves to point us to our home in Him. No longer do we cringe in fear and shame. No longer do we scream in frustration, rage, and indignation. No longer do we point the finger and blame other people, holding them responsible for our pain and sorrow. No longer do we identify each other and judge one another by the shortcomings and imperfections of the body. For we will never stand alone, be vulnerable, and without a friend again! We are as one in Him – our perfection, holiness, and goodness are complete.

Today let the consciousness of your salvation and what it means bless your every encounter. Each time you look in the mirror today greet your reflection with a smile of love, gratitude, and peace. Look upon all of nature with eyes of compassion. Exchange thoughts of judgment, blame, condemnation, and vengeance with tender forgiveness. When you feel weary, take a moment to rest your eyes, put up your feet, gather energy for your human body by quieting your mind and going within. Let go of every inconsequential chore on your to-do list. It will be there tomorrow and the next day and the day after. Calm your troubled, wounded spirit. Lay down your burdens. Spend as much time as you possibly can in the Presence of God today.

My love for God, home and hearth, my husband and family fueled my decision to devote the rest of my life only to pursuits which brought love, joy, peace, and purpose. I am a writer, seeker, student, and teacher with experience professional and otherwise from waitressing to teaching the English language in China, Taiwan, and Singapore. I hold a BA in Psychology from Bloomsburg University, which took nearly 30 years to attain while I squeezed courses in between raising my children, journaling, relationships, work, and an assortment of escapades, some of which I would rather forget! An ongoing passion for reading, writing, adventure, food, and fun, eventually led me to the love of my life, James, whom I met in 1996 and married in 1997. Our life together has been an exciting journey of work and travel, spiritual awakening, and domestic bliss ever since. Although we have experienced the tragic loss of family members and friends through death and estrangement, we have managed to turn our special relationship into a holy one by the grace of God and an acute and growing awareness of “there must be a better way!” In 2006, I published my first novel, Luella’s Calling, and am currently working on my second, Grover Good and the Stone Chateau. From 2013 through 2018, I worked as a Prevention Education Specialist for Transitions, a local domestic violence sexual abuse victim’s service agency. My work there, fueled by a lifelong enthusiasm for teaching, led me to obtain an MS in Education from Scranton University. In 2018, I resigned to accompany James on his work travels while focusing on my calling to study and teach A Course in Miracles. To that end, I dedicate the rest of my days to writing, sharing, and teaching the message of salvation found within the Course pages. Thank you for your interest in this blog.
