The way to God.

 

Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation’s ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You, and cherish no beliefs of what we are, or Who created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it become a part of Heaven now. Amen. (ACIM, W-189.10:1-10)

 

Simply do this:

I am Not Body.

I have physical expression, but am not body.

I have never seen my friend, nor has he beheld me. I have never even seen myself. Matter has been seized upon by the life-forces,—or mind,—and built up into a form of sensuous expression. All potency resides in spirit, and all material organisms are the products of its orderly energy. Life sets up its own animated statues with perfect correspondence. The color and tone of mentality come out in every form and feature. Every mental picture of the past is trying to outwardly embody itself, even though years have intervened. It is infallible law that we show forth, and are, the total composite of past thinking. Let us put away pride, and admit that all primary causation is from within. We charge our ills to the weather, water, air, climate, draughts, dampness, work, cold, bacteria, malaria, and contagion. These may be occasions, but our receptivity is the primary and real cause.

I deny the rule and tyranny of body, but affirm its utility as a servant and instrument. I will think such things as I wish embodied.

I am spirit. I rule.

“Father Knows Best!”

Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. (ACIM, T-27.VIII.6:2)
